1985 Macintosh 512K M0001W

Fat Mac for sale in original number matching Picasso box. Box label shows retail price of $3,195. This is a Macintosh 512K Model M0001W computer made in 1985, with original keyboard and mouse. It is freshly serviced, tested, and fully detailed and ready to use and display. Introduced in 1984, the M0001W Mac 512K was the second Macintosh model produced, with the same casing and style as the original 1984 M0001 but with four times the RAM. For the collector this is a very nice 512K with all original components - it has not been modified.

The inside case has the molded signatures of Steve Jobs and the original Mac design team. The exterior case is original beige color, not yellowed and or mismatched like so many. Overall this Fat Mac is exceptionally nice and in collector condition and comes in the original Picasso Apple retail box, with a serial numbered label that matches the serial number on the computer. There is no interior foam or packing, just the original box which is a bit battered and bruised but intact. The original keyboard and mouse work fine and are in very good condition. Included is only the original System Disk including MacWrite and MacPaint; the disk boots and runs fine as shown - the line is the refresh rate captured by the camera. The serial number indicates it was made during week 10 of 1985. It is reasonably priced at $1195 firm. Local pickup in Nelson BC preferred but insured shipping in second box is available. A black Targus carry case from back in the day is an option for an additional $50. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

1996 PowerComputing "We're Fighting Back For Mac" CD-ROM

"Marketing Weasels at work." This is your chance to own a factory sealed 1996 Power Computing Mac OS "WE'RE FIGHTING BACK FOR MAC" CD-Rom. Power Computing Corporation was the first company selected by Apple Inc to create Macintosh-compatible computers ("Mac clones"). Steve Kahng, a computer engineer best known for his design of the Leading Edge Model D, founded the company in November 1993. Power Computing started out with financial backing from Olivetti ($5 million) and $4 million of Mr. Kahng’s money.

The first Mac-compatible (clone) PC shipped in May 1995. Like Dell Computer, Power Computing followed a direct, build-to-order sales model. In one year, Power Computing shipped 100,000 units with revenues of $250 million in the first year. The Mac clone business was killed after Steve Jobs returned as interim CEO of Apple in July 1997. In September, Apple bought Power Computing for $100 million in Apple stock and terminated the Mac cloning business. This brand new old stock CD-Rom is priced for the Apple clone collector at $40. To view several other PowerComputing shirts, posters and hardware, click the label below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel
