What's on top of this IIfx?

 

[Strimkind]

Looks like a monitor platform to raise up the monitor a few inches.

A shelf to keep the cooling vents open.

Yes, it's a monitor support (absolutely necessary : ) intended to do both, they date back to the Mac II and are intended for TPDs, which are notoriously heavy and meant to sit on the desktop, NOT on top of a friggin' computer . . .

. . . much less on top of a platform that makes them even higher!

Was it a third party product or an Apple product?

 

[Dog Cow]

Why would Apple show a 3rd-party product in their own brochure?

 

[Trash80toHP_Mini]

Nope! )

So we ought to have there something Apple-branded that very few of us have ever seen.... Anyone have one?

The monitor is also very rare, isn't it?

I'd imagine it is, its an Apple Two Page Display...those things cost an absolute bomb back in the day and would've probably only really been sold to people who were into desktop publishing. I've only ever seen one monitor from that vintage bigger than 14" - a 21" Macintosh Colour Display...which itself is very rare, and very BIG!

I used a TPD once. For its time it was amazing, felt like I was editing in Pagemaker on a jumbotron.

So the monitor is an Apple Two Page Display. I have a couple of nubus two page display cards, but have never seen one of the monitors except in photos. But the stand allowing for ventilation is entirely new to me.

It may be something called the "Apple Universal Monitor Stand." See this LEM piece.

Edit: Nope.
