Strange Macintosh 512K HyperDrive... Without Hard Disk!

[Jujul98]

Hi,

I've found this strange Macintosh 512K HyperDrive model.

There is no Hard Drive and no fan inside...

Is anyone know what is this? (Developer model?)

That looks like a standard Mac 512K logic board. Looks like what ever Hyperdrive was in there was removed a long time ago but the label remains.

I think this 512K had never had hard drive because the logic and powerboard were not modified (like other Hyperdrive 512k).

But it's only an assumption

Did all the HyperDrive Macintosh 512K have a fan?

I believe they install kit shipped with a bracket and fan, yes.

Ok thanks

Mine doesn't have fan... I'm lost !

it was removed long ago. my hyperdrive unit had the drive gutted out of it probably for data protection.

You're porbably right!

Or I have a "normal" Macintosh 512 with the back case of HyperDrive 512k

Yeah, unfortunately a lot of ebay sellers these days find cool stickers and stick them onto anything to sell the item for a greater price...

Is there a logo on the front bezel? Every dealer fitted Hyperdrive should have one.

Side note: That is one messed up serial label. Never seen one with the type so messy.

No logo on the front bezel... I bought it with a lot of others Macintosh near Paris in an old factory...

The seller does not know what he was selling!

So I don't think he sticks "HyperDrive" stickers...

Another thing, When I turn on this Macintosh, it doesn't "boing" but it works perfectly.

The speaker works when the system is launched!
