Group Profile

A group for devotees of Apple Computer. Let's try to keep it to Motorola 68K and older

My interest in Apple Computer goes back a ways, although not all the way back. I started with a Mac Plus somewhere back in the late '80s I guess.

Nowadays, I'm mostly interested in vintage Macs running old Unix operating systems.

But I bet there's lots more people interested in really old Apples - this is the place to talk about them, brag about your latest acquisition, or ask questions.

Please try to keep it to hardware prior to the PowerPC based stuff, although I guess the older Power hardware would be ok.

    Andrew Dylan @Apple: Just bought a Quadra 800 to run A/UX on, and am excited! I've never had a 68k machine. I recently learned from watching the "Welcome to Macintosh" documentary that this is the first Apple to have that now familiar and pleasant start-up sound (also featured in Pixar's WALL-E)

      Tom Manos @Apple in reply to Andrew Dylan: If you go to the Ancient Unix Group and look in the Documents tab, you'll see lots of A/UX documentation.

      Andrew Dylan @Apple: That is great. It'll give me a head start when I finally get a chance to play around with it.
