Macintosh (128k – Restored)
The Original Macintosh, released on January 24, 1984.
Narrative »
- This unit was purchased primarily for its rear panel, so that I could use said panel to restore my Mac Plus 1MB “Upgrade” unit back to original 1984 spec. However, during the process, I found out that this unit is older. I decided to restore this unit to original instead.
- This unit came to me with a modified 128k board. Onboard RAM was upgraded to 512k, with a Hayotronics, Inc MEGAPLUS RAM board and a Dove MacSnap SCSI board added – essentially making the machine a Mac Plus. Several original board components were removed to add the RAM board.
