Serial number 0001, the first Macintosh Plus given to Gene Roddenberry? That crafty Apple, getting their product placed in Star Trek IV like that. But which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Curiously, the front of the case looks like a 512K, but the rear is clearly a Plus. And the auction house has the serial number wrong. It's actually made the 20th week of 1984, model number M0001, which means the front of the case is pretty much the 128K. I think this is actually a 128K given to Gene Roddenberry that he later upgraded to a Mac Plus (or Apple did for him). At an expected $800 - $1000, it's under-priced compared to some eBay BINs!
But one thing is for sure, the auction is completely misrepresented, as this is clearly not the first Mac Plus to roll of the assembly line at Apple's famous "Fresno" plant.
