Welcome to the M0001 Registry database project. If you own an
original
Macintosh through a Mac Plus, it is an original M0001 Macintosh model
and you should register it here:
http://www.mac128.com/m0001 Apple has long since forgotten about your M0001, but here it lives on
forever!
There is no information required on this page: http://www.mac128.com/m0001,
you may enter as much or as little as you are comfortable with.
However, you will not be able to make changes once
you post the entry to help combat vandalism and preserve the
integrity
of the database information. If you do make a mistake, please send
your changes to the administrator to update your listing, however,
you
will need to identify yourself as the original poster of the entry.
Likewise, should you sell your model M0001 Macintosh, please notify
your buyer to register too, so that the new ownership may be
reflected
(i.e. location).
Ultimately, this searchable database will hopefully become a valuable
research tool for vintage Macintosh hobbyists and academia, if not
just an interesting picture of the usefulness of the original
Macintosh model.
Here's a few pointers for entering information. The serial number is
really all that is required. It can be found underneath the front
bezel next to the contrast knob or on the very bottom of the case.
The
manufacture information can be determined by entering the serial
number in this decoder: http://macfaq.org/serial.html , or this one:
http://myoldmac.net/FAQ/Mac-Serialnumber-decoder-e.php And you may
chose to enter it into the database or not. Please also list the
current location of the M0001 if nothing else.
Your Model is determined by the serial number for the purposes of
this
database, regardless of what your M0001 has been converted into.
Note you can enter serial numbers for the Macintosh & Macintosh 128K
(M0001), Macintosh 512K (M0001W), Macintosh 512Ke (M0001E), Macintosh
Plus (M0001A), any variations not included here (P, D, etc.) and
certain Apple disk drives designed specifically for use with the
M0001
which manufacture information can also be derived from the above
linked decoder. These include the Hard Disk 20 (M0135), 400K External
Drive (M0130) and 800K External Drive (M0131) the serial number of
which for the decoder is created by adding the model number to then
end. So please register everything you have.
For RAM, you should only list that RAM that is permanently installed
(soldered) in your M0001, not clipped on upgrades that can be
removed.
In the case of the Mac Plus, obviously all of the RAM is removable,
but for this purpose consider 1-4MB "permanent", regardless if more
has been added through 3rd party add-on boards.
Under description, feel free to list anything about your M0001 that
is
not taken care of in the database fields like that Dove MacSnap RAM &
512K SCSI upgrades, internal hard drives, accelerators, etc., as well
as the color of paint you used, the type of modifications you've made
and how you use it. Don't forget to click the "3rd party upgrade" box
ONLY if you have added anything upgrading it beyond Apple's OFFICIAL
upgrade path, i.e. 128K-512K-512Ke-Plus 1MB-2MB-2.5MB-4MB.
If you know of any general changes that need to be made to this
database, please register and discuss them on this forum thread:
http://68kmla.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2234 which you will find an
invaluable resource for working with your M0001 should you not
already
be a member, or contact the registry administrator directly:
