A Communist Apple II and Fourteen Years of Not Knowing What You're Testing
The article uses the Bulgarian Pravetz Apple II clone and the 14‑year mystery of the ISCAS‑85 benchmark circuits to illustrate the power of reverse engineering. It recounts how engineers in the Eastern Bloc rebuilt an Apple II from schematics, and how researchers later decoded the hidden functions of classic EDA benchmarks. The piece argues that understanding existing designs is as valuable as building new AI systems, which are often marketed without demonstrable ROI. It ends by urging a shift from forward‑only hype to systematic deconstruction and learning.
