Interesting, but did Apple ever ship it configured as a 6800 machine?
They always shipped with a 6502, right?

BTW, if you can find the book "So Far" it shows some of the cool cases
that were made for the Apple 1 and mentions the Byte Shop deal in which
the Byte Shop offered to buy the first 50 and make "proper" cases for it.
