+**The Woz Machine** is my love letter to the Apple %%//%%e and related machines.
 I have fond memories of using Apple 2 series computers in school; they were the perfect school machines.  They were almost impossible to render nonfunctional without mechanical damage, the operating paradigm was simple (disk in, turn on, do things, turn off) and the games were fun (looking at you, //Oregon Trail// and //Carmen Sandiego//).

 This wiki is my notebook as I explore the Apple ][ architecture.  This won't be a full replacement for those old books and references, as that would be a huge lift that's beyond my capability at this point.  But hopefully it'll be a useful reference starting point for anyone else who wants to join me on this adventure.

+===== About The Woz Machine =====
+The name of this site is inspired by, but not a direct reference to, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Woz_Machine|Integrated Woz Machine]], a single-chip implementation of Steve Wozniak's Disk ][ controller, which eventually was installed in the Macintosh for many, many years as the SWIM (Sanders-Wozniak Integrated Machine).  The name, **The Woz Machine**, for the purposes of this wiki, instead refers to the Apple ][ and successors.
