An early look at the Macintosh Plus with its whiz-bang 7.8-MHz Motorola processor and 1 MB of RAM
Following up yesterday's popular "Blasts from the Past" from the Byte Magazine archives, here is another blast! This time it's the Macintosh Plus from June 1986.
It begins:
"BYTE took an early look at the Mac Plus , a $2599 system that came with 1 MB of RAM, a 9-inch display, a 7.8-MHz Motorola 68000 processor, and an optional 20-MB hard drive (but no expansion slots). The Compaq Deskpro 286, which we also reviewed, had 512 KB of RAM, a 30-MB hard drive, and four expansion slots; it cost $6245 with a monitor, but it was faster than IBM's AT."
