There's an Apple I circuit board on display at Apple's offices that is
supposed to be the first Apple I. Apple says that it is "the original Apple
I circuit board." It has the legend "our founder" displayed on the bottom
of the display. There's a picture of it at about page 354 in 'Fire in the
Valley'. The facing page has a copy of Woz's schematic for the Apple I.
