Adin's Antique Computer page
Here is my collection of old Computers I own. The list is chronological order of my owning them:
111Apple Macintosh 512k
- The original Macintosh. Has all the developers signatures on the inside of
the case, coool! Runs on the Motorola 68000 Processor at 8 MHz with 256k of
RAM. After the motherboard gave out we put in a 512k motherboard. It was given
to me in 1989 (I think) by my parent's friends - The Rowens
Processor: Motorola 68000 Processor at 8 MHz
Processor Speed: 8 MHz
RAM: 256k upgraded to 512k
Year Introduced: 1984
Accessories: External Floppy disk drive (does not
work)
Atari 1040 STf - A great computer. With 1 MB of
RAM, it runs on an 8MHz Motorola 68000 processor just like the compact Macs
but had much better graphics including color (could show 16 out of a palette
of 512) which the Macs (using the same processor) did not have. As far as I'm
concerned it blew away its competition when it came out! I got it from my parents
friends - The Shwartze's.
Processor: Motorola 68000
Processor Speed: 8 MHz
RAM: 1 MB
Year Introduced: 1985

Apple Macintosh Plus -

they were throwing it out in 1997. It came with a 40 MB external HD.
Processor: Motorola 68000
Processor Speed: 8 MHz
RAM: 1 MB

Apple Macintosh Classic - A very modern computer
in its generation, when it came out PCs where in the 286 era. This computer
had multitasking and can run System 7.5.5 and Word 5!. The Mac Classic is the
only Mac to have system software in ROM. All you have to do to get the Mac loaded
up from ROM is to hold down the apple key, option and XO at startup. The ROM
contains system 6.0.3. Mine has a 40 MB internal HD and an external 40 MB HD.
I also have an external 14.4 Prometheus modem connected. I am able to e-mail
and surf the net with it. My mother brought it over from the States in 1997,
it was a gift from my cousin Hillel.

Apple Macintosh LC - Got this one
along with 2 Mac Pluses and a Mac SE by pure chance. I walked into the next
office over, while at work, to make a phone call since the phone in my office
was being used. As I walked in I noticed a bunch of Mac computers, keyboards,
mice and cables strewn on the floor. I immediately asked the woman what was
going on, she said they were throwing the whole lot out. Within 10 minutes the
whole pile was in the trunk of my Daewoo Lanos. The computers were in Horrible
shape, full of grime and stickers. One keyboard looked like coffee had spilled
on it and another had two keys broken Cleaned it all up and super glued the
keys back in (11/2000).

Apple Macintosh SE FDHD - Read about
the LC to see how I got this one. The FDHD means it has the now standard 1.44
disk drive (double the 800k of the original SEs). If you hit the interrupt switch
and type the string "G 41D89A" without the parenthesis, you'll get
a slide show of four pictures of the SE development team (11/2000).
