Apple Mac Plus
The Apple Mac Plus was one of the first of the Macintosh series. It was introduced in the mid-eighties, namely 1986 and sold until 1990. Mine dates back to the production year 1987 and therefore is nearly as old as my Atari ST. It sports the same CPU as the ST, a Motorola 68000 running at 8 MHz. No internal hard drive, but an external second floppy disc drive for DD floppy disks with 720kB. Thanks to the SCSI port, my Mac Plus is extended with a ZIP drive as a sort of a hard drive and with the SCSI2Ethernet adapter that allowed me to access my NAS via AppleShare. Thanks again to the friendly Retro Mac Master, I was able to upgrade one of my two Mac Plus with an accelerator card to a 68030 CPU running at 16 MHz.
