I was cleaning up the basement and ran across this Macintosh. I can't find any documentation on it -- so I am going to try and make some educated guesses on the specifications.
Built-in B&W display. One floppy drive (non functioning. jammed?). Pre-ADB keyboard. No arrow keys. I must have lost the mouse.
Plastic intact. Must be earlier than Spindler era. Needs retrobright, though.
Opening it up. No fan or expansion slots. So, I am coming to the conclusion this was a Jobs design.
I removed the motherboard. Fortunately, no exploded batteries or leaking capacitors (but I am unable to find an OS-CON aluminum polymer replacement yet).
32 kHz processor. Likely 68HC000 for lower power?
I noticed a little bit of corrosion. Isopropyl followed by ultrasonic should clean that up.
One note. When replacing the AG3 CUDA/PRAM battery, be sure that one of the battery clips touches the side. If it gets bent down then the computer will not boot up -- similar to the LC 475.
