Were there some that were individually, personally
signed?
Were all Mac plus delivered with these mass produced signatures?
Or were only some delivered with these mass produced signatures?
If these mass produced signatures were only on some Macs,
approximately how many were supposed to have these signatures?
All Mac Pluses have those signatures.
In fact all Mac's starting from the first (128, but before it was called
that), thru the SE have signatures. And, I believe all the IIs, and some
of the IIx's, and maybe others. I'm not as positive at what point in the
II line it stopped, and I know it stopped somewhere midline with a model,
so there is at least one model that has sigs, but not in all of them.
So people that sell their 128, 512, Plus, or SE with "signatures" are
either ignorant, or trying to jack up the price hoping to catch other
ignorant people.

New subject: Technical Reference manual Texas Instruments Model 855 printer
Hi,
Is there anyone who is interested in above mentioned manual.
I don't have the printer.. so I can't do anything with this.
Want to trade for a little something I can use.

The Apple Macintosh Portable also has signatures & is (I believe), the
last Macintosh to have this nice little "feature".

No, the IIci has them too (I have them in all three of my IIci Macs).

So who knows? Actually... this sounds to me like a good topic for an
informal survey.
Got an older Mac with signatures? Without? Drop me a line with the model,
and serial number if you have it. I would prefer though, that you take a
second to verify accurate answers, and not leave it to a vague
recollection.
I'll summarize and post the results in a month.
ok

I have a MAC SE here. Where would the signature be located?

They are on the inside of the back part of the case. Those little
computers are a pain to open unless you have the long handle torx
screwdriver though, because there are two screws in the handle part, in
addition to the ones on the back. If you really want to open it, take a
BIC disposable pen, and remove the ink and the black end piece, leaving
an empty tube. Shove a hex shaped pencil in one end, and a T-15 driver
bit in the other. This creates a crude, but very functional Mac opener.
If you use a long enough pencil, it is pretty easy to use. Getting the
case apart after the screws are out can be tricky too, and they sold a
special tool to do it, but I have always just to be able to pull the
halves apart. I really wouldn't recommend trying to open the computer
unless you really want to though, it's pretty hard if you have never
done it before. Your mileage may vary.
