  • @theodricaethelfrith: It is an upgrade kit installed on a 512K model. There is a 25 pin d sub connector built into the battery door cover on the back of the unit. These systems had scsi but they didn't have hard drives. The floppy was scsi also, if I remember correctly. I bet this was at least a $1000 upgrade in its day.

  • Ahh the good old days where programmers were more concerned with CPU cycle, memory usage and function than making it pretty. Oh yeah and hardware would last 25 years or longer.

  • --->0:10<--- sound!!!

  • A Mac 512k with a SCSI disk? That's improbable and certainly not stock. You sure that thing wasn't upgraded to a Plus with the kit Apple offered (check the back label)? The Plus was the first Mac to officially support SCSI, and even then only barely. There were 3rd-part hacks to get SCSI on the 128k/512k but they weren't that common.

  • they don't mack computers and printers like these today
