CPU : 68000
ClockSpeed :  8Mhz
RAM  :  1Mb
Drive : 800K floppy  ( 20Mb external ...the size of a phone book !  )

Vintage  : 1986

Model :  Apple Mac Plus

Cost : $20
Memories : Priceless !!

OK, so I'm a sucker for 80's nostalgia
(...why else would I have a full-size PacMan and Robotron,
...but never had a console game in my life ! )

--

A guy at work was selling it,  ...he had no takers so I offered $20.

The machine is MINT !  (still had the protective plastic slip cover on it ! )
Fully working with TWO external 20Mb drives.   [...HUGE for that era... ]
NIB keyboard, 3 mice, and lots of original-packaged S/W

My wife is ABSOLUTELY going to kill me when I bring this "junk" in the house,
but it will complement my  Commodore PET 2001, VIC-20 and C-64 nicely...      

Long live the 80's !

I still have the old Vic 20 too.
Plugged it in about a year ago and it all still worked.
Kinda funny loading games on an external tape deck.

Makes a cute fish tank refurbed....    

Long ago I traded my Mac Plus, Apple II, Osborne, Commodore Pet, Atari 520ST, Tandy MC10,  and TRS-80 Model Ifor computer books - to sit in a kind of museum above the books in a Yonge Street location - the only thing they didn't get was my Amiga (and I can't for the life of me remember what I did with that)!  A few of these were donated to me along the way, close to their demise as viable systems, some I paid for with my spare (as in working afterschool or at a computer store) high school kid cash.  Man if I'd only put that cash into stocks instead!

That's exactly what I did to my second mac classic I found on the street after harvesting the whopping 2 mb of Ram for the other computer.

It sits nicely beside my 16 GB Ram Quad, Quad core system

Yup, I use to own one... my cousin and I would have MegaBug tournaments! Man, would I love to find that game and play it again on my PC at home, but I doubt it is out there.


Retiring soon...

I have an old 2gb SCSI drive if your interested. You just have to find a way of picking it up.

I used to love paying Dome Wars on my SE/30
