The ports from left to right are ADB, Floppy, SCSI and two serial (these can be used for printers/modems/networking Macs together. I think there is a missing cover on the rear - those look like the holes for screen adjustment (usually a plastic tool is used for adjustments). This Mac can support up to 4Mb RAM which will allow it to run anything up to System 7.5.5.
The early 1980's internet and BBS's worked flawlessly on a Mac Classic. Somehow, the black-and-white with the higher resolutions that were native on a Mac just dominated the CGA and EGA cards of PCs of that time. Plus, most online stuff back then was either plain text or ANSI graphics which appears far crisper on a Mac than a PC. The extra meg or two of RAM on a Mac gave you one hell of a buffer space for back scrolling through the website's or BBS's text. Which I guess isn't really something people do on the modern internet, but back then it was great!
The Mac Plus (very similar to the Classic) is without doubt the most ahead of it's time machine I ever had the chance to use. I was amazed back then and even more today. That kind of carefully crafted software, bespoke and adjusted to get the very best of the hardware was never made again. It is sad, hope someday we have new OSes build like this.
The interrupt switch triggers a high priority CPU interrupt which halts code execution. It's used for debugging programs. I'm pretty sure it also launches the debugger if it's installed.
I have on, but the FUCKING FLOPPY DRIVE is killing me! I recapped the motherboard ,maxed out the RAM, and replaced the fan. I have a Wombat USB-ADB adapter, two BlueSCSI adapter, and a Floppy EMU. I also have a Mac SE FDHD. The floppy drives it came with are busted. One worked, and I accidentally broke a head cable on the other while I was disassembling the unit. I forgot to disconnect the cables.
Same here. Only the rich kids had Macs back then. I had a rusty old 8088 with CGA graphics. Technically, the CGA card did give me more colors than a Mac, but the Mac had style. The default 4 colors of CGA were just horrific.
@@bamdadkhan Those are NOT Alps switches, these are mushy just like membrane. I have an older model of Apple keyboard and the difference in switch quality is immense. Maybe if it isn't membrane then it's come crappy switch that feels like shit
@frokfrdk i stand corrected. that's probably an 'apple keyboard ii' which has mitsumi or smk mechanisms, both are membrane-based. i mistook it for an 'apple standard keyboard' which has orange/salmon alps. sorry mate..
This is the export version of the Mac Classic, which was sold in various places in Europe as well as in AU, and so needed to mention compliance with German, Swedish and Finnish regulations. All CRTs produce X-rays because of how they work (smashing electrons into something with enough energy will create X-rays as braking radiation). This is also why CRTs are so heavy; the glass is leaded to keep the X-rays in.
The ports are labelled; why did you point at the ports labelled with the floppy and SCSI icons and claim that one was a printer port, especially when one of the serial ports was labelled with a printer?

Love the content keep up the good work my guy
With the holes in the back you can adjust the screen horizontally and vertically.
Oh it definitely needs some adjusting, thanks for telling me. I also discovered the cover is missing
2 MB 🥹 this computer is just so cute

And was a lot back then.

If you hit it while starting up it dies
That mouse is fucking cursed 😭😂
That is such a deal! It originally cost $3,000 on release.
The Macintosh Classic, Macintosh LC, and Macintosh IIsi were released in 1990. These 3 computers kept Apple from going out of business. 🤔

Cracks me up because I had a friend who had one of these and I was so jealous, because I had an IBM PC

Hold down apple-control-o-x when it starts up to boot the secret ROM drive. No floppy or HD needed.
Please take it apart and get that CMOS Battery out because it will destroy your motherboard.

heres a comment because this is a good video
Wait, 2:29 why does it create X-rays? And why it only written in German & some Nordic languages?

- Put the poem into an AI music generator! :D ...
Please figure out the ports and other basic information about the hardware before shooting.
