Here’s another one - AP2216-03 from the Power Mac 4400 prototype. It has 16x AM28F020s

Yep, genuine chip was sent well packed to me too, I’d definitely recommend

I have the onboard video only.

Nice upgrade, I can confirm a 64MB Crucial / Micron MT32LD864AG-6 3.3V 60n/s 168-Pin EDO Memory Module works in mine. Now to find another…

I've just upgraded the RAM in my 4400/200 and spent a good half hour pulling my hair out. I got what I thought was a correct 64 MB DIMM, but found it wouldn't work in either dual bank slot without a DIMM in the other dual bank slot. I had: 16 MB DIMM in slot 1, 64 MB DIMM in slot 2 = black...

Newton arrived today. It's a DVT MessagePad 120 containing two surprises, leaked NiCADs and OS 1.4b1.00

Picked up an interesting looking Newton - not sure if that’s a 110 or 120. https://www.ebay.com/itm/116182273904

I like the EVT serial # on that!

Not quite as exotic this time - picked up a smashed up Powerbook G4 12" as I needed a charger, and genuine chargers appear expensive on the bay. It has turned up, but is in pretty decent shape apart from the smashed screen. There's a jammed memory bay door screw, but, other than that and the...

Have you cleaned the contacts on the MacBook, adapter and MagSafe 2 cable? I frequently get MagSafe 2 machines only charging with the cable one way round and it’s usually a clean needed. Also try resetting the SMC and PRAM if you can get that far.

Amazing! Thanks for this.

One more point on this - the “Elsie” LC prototype with a pretty much final case predates this one (I’ve seen a couple online and there is one for ten grand on eBay at the moment), so I don’t think the case with the adjustable legs was the planned LC case, more that this was a design concept for...

Yep, agreed, with an alternate LC case. The internal mounts on that look correct to fit an LC board, PSU and floppy drives in, whilst not actually being put together or shaped like the LC’s case… and a date stamp predating the release of the LC. Perhaps a mock-up of an LC based all in one.

It predates the LC, which makes it being an internal apple prototype all the more convincing to me.

Also : the keyboard is an engineering sample and the lower case is roughly finished and appears to have an August 1990 date stamp and (TOOL#1). I reckon it’s an apple concept/prototype
