Re: Apple II DIY systems?

[mwillegal <mike@willegal.net>]

I had a friend who bought the motherboard in late '77 or more likely,
early '78.

He bought an ascii keyboard, cassette tape recorder and a power supply
to go with it.  At first, I think he had issues with the power
supply.  Once he got the power supply figured out (he claimed that he
had some phone support from Woz himself), he had a "complete" system.

He never built or acquired a case that I know of.
