Hi all -
Well, first off, thanks to the kindness of one of the list members, I'm writing the text for this email on my Mac 512K using Macwrite 1. I know, old hat for your guys, but it's pretty cool to me. :)
The machine is alive and well, now sporting an external 800K floppy that makes life a lot easier. Unfortunately, the PRAM battery must have been left in it for years and leaked into the battery compartment, corroding the lower contact, but the damage doesn't seem to have extended any further. I need to get a long torx driver so I can pull the back off and see if anthing bad happened inside.
Now, some questions:
How come the cursor keys don't work in Macwrite? (Or am I missing some key combination?) This keyboard is model M0110A. Is that original to this model?
The Mac itself shows a model number of M0001W on the back lid, and has the Macintosh 512K logo, but under the screen the label reads just M0001. The serial number also ends just in M0001, and indicates a manufacture date during the 21st week of 1984, which is the middle of May, several months before the model was introduced, I think. So does that mean this is a 128K that was upgraded after the fact, or upgraded in the factory before being sold, or somewhere inbetween? Or is the only way to really tell to look at the logic board?
On another note, I have a DaynaPORT SCSI/Link-3 with nothing else (ie, docs, drivers, cables). I found specs on the web, and info on the connectors and switches, so that's good, but no info on drivers. Does anybody have anything along those lines? Also, what was the power supply voltage, and the polarity of the connector?
Thanks!
Tim (getting such a kick out of this little box!)
