The Replica 1 was created by Vince Briel of BrielComputers.com in 2003. The Replica 1 Plus was created in mid 2014.
Briel Computers specialized in retro hobby computer kits. They started in 2003 with a replica of the first Apple computer, the Apple 1. They focused on developing computer kits and boards like those you could purchase in the 1970′s and early 80′s.
In 2015 Briel Computers closed its doors and stopped accepting orders as Vince had a career change.
In September 2017, Henry from ReActiveMicro contacted Vince about reproducing his kits and projects for sale to help supply the current Community demand.
Project Status: Completed. In production. Actively sold by ReActiveMicro.

History?
The above sets anchors for tags and menus (#this heading - for example). Add sections as needed using this "==THIS CRAP==" tag.
This is a sample edit.
Add: Links to website and forums. Pics. Add software links. Upload disk images to the RM FTP site in correct folder.
CPU
The Replica 1 normally comes with a 6502 CPU. The newer 65C02 can be used, however there is no benefit and the newer OpCodes will not be used unless the user calls them directly. This however is not "standard" and other 02 compatible software would not use the C02.
There were some bugs fixes in the C02 CPU. Software could be written that exploited these bugs in the old CPU, however none is known. All the known Apple 1 software should work find on the C02 CPU.
To identify which CPU you have installed on your Replica 1 look at U1 located on the lower left of the PCB. If the letter "C" is in the middle of the part number then it's a 65C02 CPU and not a 6502 CPU.
