Hi, first time posting on lemmy, I hope yall will enjoy my late grandfather’s happy lil Mac Plus! Maxed out at 4MB of RAM and modded with power through SCSI and a low rpm fan. That’s a fully working ImageWriter on the left. :)

Oooh lucky! Man, having contacts in universities is precious for getting cheap oldies! Do you still have it?

aww :c
I grew up using one of these and a Windows 95 HP machine, till I got my first PC just for me, an iMac G3 (2nd gen, with the CD slot instead of the tray that ejects).
Eyy, grew up on a Mac 512 myself and my first computer was an iBook G3! We don’t have the 512 anymore but my G3 is still alive and kicking! Do you still have yours?
My aunt has it at her place still, so while I don’t have it, the family does
Sweet! I use mine to help with data transfer between the Internet and the Plus. Works great for that.
This is what peak productivity looks like - after boot up, of course 😏
Hey, even with 4MB it boots way faster than a Vista machine! 😂
Though to be fair, booting from a SCSI2SD does help a lot.
Fantastic! This brings back so many good memories. Endless hours of Dark Castle, Zork Zero and making pixel art in MacPaint. Does anything beat the sound of an ImageWriter at full speed? Zzzzt zzt zzzt zzzzztzzt
It is still possible to emulate the old 68k Macs.
