Inventory #: X0055
Notes: Issues:
The original power supply had failed. I replaced it with a standard ATX PS that has Pin18 (white) cut. This is near enough to the mac PS pin layout to work for testing, but a proper ATX power supply conversion should be performed before running this machine long-term.

Why keep this machine:
At fist glance I think this machine is one of options for supported hardware to run Apple's early developer OS during the transition period between the Classic Mac OS and Mac OS X.
