The Apple-1 set in motion the company that in June became the first publicly traded business to close a trading day with a US$3 trillion market value, according to RR Auction in Boston. The computer has been restored to a fully operational state and comes with a custom-built case with a built-in keyboard, the agency said.

The computer, which originally sold for about US$666, is expected to sell for about US$200,000 at an auction that runs through Aug 24. An Apple-1 prototype sold last year for nearly US$700,000.About 200 were manufactured in Steve Jobs' garage in Los Altos, California, in 1976 and 1977 and about 175 of them were sold, RR's Executive Vice President Bobby Livingston said.
