Around the very late 1990s I predicted that we'd start seeing Apple-1
forgeries on eBay within a year.  I'm glad I was wrong.

The Apple-1 is just too hard to clone properly.  Finding the right chips
with the right date codes is the easy part.  Getting the solder mask
perfect on the correctly colored PCB will be a challenge.
