Awesome on multiple levels

Whoa.

Although, I tend to agree with the guy in the comments. It’s not a plus, it’s likely a 128.

Which is even cooler.

Shouldn’t it be called “The First Mac Ever Made–No Bloody A, B, C, or D?”

I know, I think I’m stretching it on that one.

It’s probably a Plus internally, that’s an 800k drive. It wasn’t available in the Mac 128 or Mac 512, the ROM couldn’t support it.

Plus ROMs could be installed in a 512, making it a 512e, but that’s fairly uncommon. A new motherboard could go into a 128 making it a Plus, that’s a possibility too. Also an internal 800k drive, I did that to mine.

But it’s definitely not a stock 128, not with that drive.

Occam’s Razor.

No, it’s an upgraded 128–>Plus.
