Let's make a deal: You send me those Apple boards, and I'll send you 
those TTL ICs, all brand new and shiny... ;-))

Seriously, if you're going to build your own, you'll probably be better 
off using HCMOS-TTL ICs and a CMOS Z80. You'll get less power 
consumption, improved noise immunity (which might be important on 
perfboard), and, most important of all, you'll be able to single step 
the clock for debugging.
