It's funny you said that. I found the original invoices for my Fat Mac.
$2495 in 1985. $500 for a 1200-baud modem. $800 for an ImageWriter I. $500
for the external floppy drive. I remember I got a discount from the store
(NYNEX/DataGo) because by father worked at NYNEX in the early 80's.
If I have time, I'll scan it and post it on my Web site.

All:
I?m looking for the two following Dr. Dobb?s articles on the Mac:
::Jan 1985 "Fatten Your Mac" by Thomas Lafleur and Susan Raab
::Sep 1985 ?SCSI Your Mac, in MAC Toolbox? by John Bass relating to
adding a home-brewed SCSI interface to the Mac 128/512.
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.
