What
a Mac Classic buyer says:
"I
have received the Macintosh in the debt of this
week.
The Macintosh works perfectly.
Many thanks for Games and Software, it's great.
It's a pleasure to use this computer. An old
dream !"
A Macintosh Classic, Codename: XO - with 4
MB RAM (maximum) a 40 MB harddrive and
a SuperDrive Floppy - running System 7 (German),
with German layout QWERTZ Keyboard and Mouse (optional
you can buy an US layout Apple Design Keyboard
- ask for). Tested, in good condition, some soft
scrathes and softly yellowed due to its age. If
you like I can install an English System on the
Mac. Shipped worldwide, runs with 240 Volt. This
wonderful machine has a own display at the MoMA
in New York. See the Photos
This tells us the decoded
Serial Number: CK1103PAD11
Manufactured in: CK => Cork, Ireland
Year of production: 1991
Week of production: 10
Production number: 3PA => 4260
Modell ID: D11 => Macintos Classic
Your Macintos Classic was the 4260d manufactured
during the 10d week of 1991 in Cork, Ireland.
Introduced as the first sub-$1,000 Macintosh
($999) in October 1990. RAM expansion was via
a RAM daughter card (installed) with two open slots, which could accept a pair
of 256 KB or 1 MB SIMMs. This made memory upgrades
far easier than on the Plus or SE, since the motherboard
didn't have to be removed. One new feature on
the Classic was elimination of the brightness
knob. Instead brightness was controlled with the
Brightness control panel. A feature unique to
the Classic is the ability to boot from ROM by
holding down command-option-x-o at startup. The
ROM Disk is called "Boot Disk" and is
357K in size. The ROM Disk uses Finder 6.1.x and
System 6.0.3 - this combination is specifically
designed for the Classic. The Classic was the
last Mac to use the 8 MHz 68000 CPU.

"And you'll see why 1984, won't be like
1984"... As fans watched the 1984 Super Bowl,
a stark commercial directed by Ridley Scott appeared
on the screen. In the spot, a female athlete smashes
a large screen projecting the image of an autocratic
Big Brother. With that 45-second advertisement,
Apple Computer introduced the Macintosh, a line
that would come to revolutionize computer design
and functionality. Twenty one years ago, on January
24, 1984, Apple launched the Macintosh. The machine,
which introduced the first mass-market graphical
user interface, mouse and 3.5-inch floppy drive,
revolutionized the computer industry and changed
millions of lives.
Apple released several super-fast, super-expensive
Macs in the late 80s and early 90s, mostly in
the Mac II and later the Quadra series. This is
why the Mac Classic, released in October 1990,
is an interesting model. It looks out of place
with other models of the period. It seems Apple
decided to go back to its roots, and released
a Mac model with the case, processor, and basic
configuration as the original compact Mac models.
In fact, the Mac Classic is really just a slightly
faster Mac Plus with a different name. So
why did Apple do this? Article by www.applemuseum.bott.org

Was ein Mac Classic Käufer sagt:
"Hallo
nach Berlin,
alles bestens, der Mac kam letzten Freitag.
Erinnert mich an meine Grafikeranfänge....
Viele Grüße - Christian W. - Deutschland"
Sie bieten auf einen sehr schönen Macintosh
Classic im legendären "Knubbel"-Gehäuse
mit deutschem Layout Keyboard (QWERTZ) und Mouse.
Der Classic hat 4 MB RAM (maximum durch interne
RAM Erweiterungskarte) installiert und eine 40
MB Festplatte, klein aber fein, wenn man sieht
was alles an Programmen drauf ist... Kommt mit
dem original Benutzerhandbuch für den Classic.
Der Mac Classic ist nur leicht vergilbt und hat
leichte Kratzer aufgrund seines Alters. Der Macintosh
Knubbel hat es auch schon einen festen Platz im
MoMA (Museum of Modern Art, New York).

Modell ID: D11 => Macintos Classic
Your Macintos Classic was the 4260d manufactured

Der Classik ist neben dem Mac SE der letzte "Knubbel"
mit dem Motorola 68000. Er wurde vom 15. Okt.
1990 bis zum 14. Sept. 1992 angeboten und läuft
unter System 6.0.7 bis 7.5.5. Man kann beim Classic
das Betriebssystem ohne Bootmedien wie Diskette
oder Festplatte aus dem ROM-Chip starten, man
muß dazu nur direkt nach dem Einschalten
Command-Option-X-O drücken, denn startet
ein amerikanisches System 6.0.3 ohne weitere Laufwerksaktivität
direkt aus dem ROM. Bei diesem Classic ist jedoch
auch das deutsche System 7 auf der Festplatte
installiert.
