According to the auction text from 2010 the motherboard was modified by Steve Wozniak to add an interface for a potentiomenter, and two tapes. The potentionemter was used as a paddle. Seller made a guess, that it was used for the game Breakout.
The name of this Apple-1 was changed in 2021 from 'Nexon Museum' to 'Hattfield'. Hattfield was the first owner and this name is always the first choice.
The original owner of the Apple-1 on sale was Fred Hatfield, not the a former major league baseball player. In 2013 an auction house made a wrong statement about a former football player. The original owner was able to proof, that it was his Apple-1 and he is not the baseball player.
