Initial Apple I reproduction board design schematic in KiCad

Building a few retro kit computer kits, like [SmartyKit from Surgey Panarin](https://smartykit.io/) and the [Zeal Z80](https://zeal8bit.com/) board, got me thinking about designing an Apple I computer board myself, manufacturing it, and then building it.
