A restoration of a 1984 Apple Macintosh 128K for display and daily use, addressing the original's limitations of only 128KB RAM and no expansion options. The chosen unit was originally upgraded in 1986 to a Macintosh Plus motherboard, giving it 1MB RAM and a SCSI port, enabling a broader library of games and applications. The machine saw heavy use at a psychology practice from 1984 to 2008 before being restored.
Background
The Apple Macintosh 128K, released in 1984, was the first mass-market Apple Macintosh computer. It featured only 128KB of RAM and a single 400KB floppy drive, making it quite limited by modern standards.
