i just had a delightful ebay win, a PLUS!

[uniserver]

The floppy drive eject assm gear was stripped out, I Changed the whole floppy eject unit from a bad superdrive i had and it works great, I find it funny how the minimal 6.0.8 for Mac se did not work , I had to install minimal for plus, swapping floppies . Glad it works, It's got 2.5 megs of ram, so I assume I can install 4meg no problem, The telephone cord keyboard is way different sounding feedback then what I'm used to

does this still have extra value over a normal plus? because its an upgraded 128k?

I haven't seen it affect pricing much at all, because most buyers won't care or know about the difference.

It appears to be a telephone cord, but it is wired differently. Using an actual telephone cord can wreck things I hear. I remember trying once as a kid because the original one was a bit stretched out, but the phone handset cord I had did not fit.

To make matters more confusing, you can use an S-Video cable with an ADB keyboard.

That's really cool dude! How many people have one of the first 500 or so macintoshes ever made?! I think that would make it more valuable at least in terms of nostalgic value. Amazing find, and best of luck with your scsi upgrade. Check out my early 1986 Mac Plus thread in conquests here, i just uploaded a pile of pictures, the box is stunning
