I think fatten your mac had you piggy back your 64K
drams and
bring out CS? to the address decoder. I still marvel at the price
of a MAC and it had only 128K memory.
I was going from memory before so I dug out the invoice for my Mac512k:
Date: 9/12/85
Purchased from: NYNEX/DataGo (this was NYNEX's business center retail chain.
NYNEX was the merged phone companies of New York Telephone and New England
Bell after the 1984 consent decree which broke-up AT&T)
Mac 512k - $2795
Imagewriter 80CO - $545
IWI Cable Kit - $50
Mac External Disk - $495
Mac Numeric Keypad - $70
Mac Modem 1200 - $495
Mac Carry Case - $90
Maxell 3.5" Disks - $50
MacTerminal - $99
MSWord Mac - $195
Mac 68000 PDS - $195
MSBASIC - $150
MSExcel - $429
That's $5,658 and it didn't even include a hard drive!
