My dad paid a visit, and rather than just the 8-pin serial cable I asked for, he unexpectedly brought an entire bagged Mac 512k! He has two, you see, and I was hoping to get one a little while ago, but I went ahead and got my Mac Plus anyway. Now I am surprised and delighted to have two compacts in the house. It has an assortment of odds and ends, including an external disk drive (am I correct that even though it says 800 I will still only be able to read 400k disks with the 512k?) and this third-party mouse sled on ball bearings--I've never seen anything like it.

It's fairly dirty, and various components have differing amounts of yellow, but overall it's in good shape, and looks and sounds beautiful.
