Macintosh Classic

I've received a Macintosh Classic from a good friend of mine. He's a collector too, and once intended to get into Vintage Macs. Sadly this never happened (he ended up getting into Commodore, as well as other stuff, though this is just fine).

It's in a Basic configuration, with 2MB of RAM, and a 40MB Hard Disk. It boots into System 6.0.7. Cosmetically, it's in good shape, with minimal Yellowing, and there are no Scratches on the Case.

Try this: turn it on, and immediately hold down the Command key, the Option key, and the letters X and O.

(or maybe you already know about this!)

Sounds good! You have 2MB of RAM which means there is a RAM expansion daughter card installed - 1MB on motherboard and 1MB on card. It is therefore possible to add two 30 pin SIMMs and upgrade your Classic to the full 4MB should you wish to.

Cool - they're very nice machines.

Yep, I've tried it on another Classic. An interesting feature, to say the least.
