According to : http://www.apple-history.com/ The ³first² Mac was the Mac 128k and it was introdoced on January 1984. The 512K came out in September of that same year. As for 1983 it was the Lisa that came out that year. You could say the Lisa may have been the first ³Mac²-like computer from Apple. It did have a M68000 CPU, BUT it ran on the LisaOS. Later it was reconfigured to become the Lisa 2 and then a Mac XL (which came with 2x 3.5² floppy drives and a 10MB hard drive!). It could only run the Mac OS using an emulator. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
