I don't remember the fate of the last auction but do remember the sellers name. IIRC
it was listed for a similarly ridiculous price and the speculation was the same. Could be
legit but nothing was written for it so expensive mantle piece.

I asked a very in the know Mac person and he
still doesn't know if this is for real or not, can anyone comment as to the validity
of this unit???

I remember seeing that 'round these parts a few months ago; IIRC,
the conclusion was that it was probably real, but since there's
little to no existing software on Twiggy disks, it's not like you
can do much with it (unless you want to make use of that EEPROM
adaptor board). I myself would love to see a picture of the
early logic board; was that one of the ones with Burrell's IBM
chip?
