Original Design
This product was designed by 8BitFlux.com. By buying this product your support original hardware creators.

Use the Apple-1 Software Library for plug-and-play operation. Use Uncle Bernie's TurboType™ method for faster transfers. For example, use BASIC or play Mini-Startrek within 30 seconds. Get remote control of your vintage computer using a terminal application (like Minicom). Select a baudrate of 57.6 kbps or 9600 bps. Orchestrate demonstrations of an Apple-1 or Apple II by the use of control characters. See the manual for full details of the possibilities.

Flip over the adapter socket on the backside and use it with an Apple 2 as well. Browse for games on ASCIIExpress.net and just copy-paste the bytecode. Attach the vintage keyboard of the Apple to the passthrough connector. Use the toggle button to switch over to your vintage keyboard and enjoy games on the real machine right away.

Important for Apple 2 users, please note that the KST is not meant to be an alternative for ADTPro. The KST uses the keyboard socket for communication, while ADTPro uses the cassette interface, or a serial interface inserted into an expansion slot. The KST does not support the loading of disk images, use ADTPro for this. However, the KST can be used to transfer / auto-type bytecode (using the System Monitor) or BASIC code. The ADTPro program can be started and controlled remotely on an Apple ][ by using the KST.

Read the documentation for more details. The unsoldered kit comes with the pcb, all parts, schematics and bill of materials. The Apple-1 and Apple 2 in the pictures are for illustrative purposes only and are not part of the kit.

Just added more content and functionality to the Apple-1 Software Library, make sure to check it out.
