I'd agree that there were some nice computers that you could understand exactly what was happening at all times, I wouldn't put the Apple II in that category, unless you are Woz or of his ability to think so non-linearly. Some computers of this area, while less capable were more understandable due to the more straight forward nature of them.

This very nice compendium comes just as I'm restoring my Apple II s (Rev1 and rev 7).
Fixed power supply (busted capacitors), defective logic & RAM chips.
More difficult, remaining issues: some memory bits flip and transient display when machine runs hot.
Jim Sather's "Understanding the Apple ][" is my bible, exhaustive and quirky too!
These were the last computers where one could understand _everything_, from logic gates to software.
No nostalgia here, vintage computing is relaxing for me…
