Computers: "Apple II RAM array"

This photo shows the arrangement of RAM chips in the original Apple II Standard. Notice the ROM chips on the top row, representing the Monitor (F8), Integer BASIC (F0, E8, E0), and utilities such as the Programmer's Aid #1 (D8 and D0). The first Apple II systems often shipped with only 16K RAM, since getting a fully populated 48K RAM computer was considerably more expensive. In this picture there appear to be a full complement of RAM chips.
