new toy

I really don`t need another retro project, but I managed to pick up an all original 128K mac this weekend. I got it from a local source for a fair price. It does need a DRAM repair, but I have original mac 128K drams left over from a 512K upgrade that I did on my original unit back in 1984! I`ve really been wanting to get one of these computers. The original unit I bought back in 1984 was so upgraded, hacked on and otherwise beat on, it was beyond reasonable restoration. I had to turn it into a macquarium. On the other hand, the unit I just picked up, appears almost completely original and hardly used. I still have my original 1984 imagewriter, so this is going to be quite a retro trip. I already found a couple of books I have saved, including Doug Capp`s “Macintosh”
