I have just become the proud owner of a 128k mac. I think that
means that it contains the 64k ROM. I am looking for ideas for upgrade
options. Some options I would be interested in are:
- new motherboard
- more memory
- hard disk (does this require new ROM)
- new ROM
- higher density floppy drive
- another floppy drive
- anything else (fish tank container)
I will summarize to comp.sys.mac

Although it is perfectly possible to upgrade from a 128K Mac to Mac-Plus-hood (and beyond, with the help of third-party vendors), the cost of doing so is almost certain to be MUCH greater than the cost of buying a new Mac Plus or SE. I think it may be worth keeping as a curiosity, or as a souvenir of an important advance in personal computing. It's still kind of fun to how much fun we had on that old machine, way back when. --mg -- Mike Godwin UT Law School | "I don't posture, mgodwin@rpp386.cactus.org | and I don't sneeze, (512) 346-4190 | and I don't share my Tastee-Freeze..." cs.utexas.edu!rpp386!mgodwin | [the Badger raps with some bad guys...]
