[net.micro.mac] Mac Plus Upgrades?

sja@mhuxl.UUCP (Sam J. Anastasio) (03/18/86)

I know quite a few people have Mac Plus systems now, but has anyone out
there in the land of Hackville received any upgrade kits for the good
ole 512 plump Mac as yet?

What's the word on delivery?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

The word I've been hearing is that logic board upgrades are still a while
away.  Aparently there are a *few* dealers that now have some drive upgrade
kits, but it seems Apple has been concentrating on meeting the big demand for
Mac Plus's.

Announced in January; available in June?  :-(

Here at the University of Utah
we have received about 26 disk drive/ROM upgrades and about 20
Mother board upgrades.  20 of the drive/Rom upgrades were put together
with the Mother board upgrades for obvious reasons.

Apple told the bookstore here that we wouldn't see any till June and then
these showed in the next few days!!!

	I was at the local Mac store here in SF last week and he 
said (the owner) that the upgrades had been delayed and he was talking
about deliveries in JULY. I would tend to believe him, but who knows for sure?

P.S.
	Alot of people are selling there 512K Macs for about $1200 and
then buying a Mac+ for a difference of about $800.

Yes indeedy.  The disk/rom upgrades do actually exist.  Bought mine
yesterday at Priority One on Trimble here in San Jose.  Should be
reaching the rest of the world real soon now.
