This 1993 prototype of the Macintosh Quadra just sold on eBay for $800. One wonders how many of these old prototype machines are now making it out of the Apple labs. Anyone know what Department 5914 is?
ONE (1) Vintage Apple Macintosh Quadra “Cyclone/Tempest” Prototype Computer. Circa 1993/1994. Has a 68040 on board & a 601 upgrade board. 500mb hard drive, 20mb ram, 3.5″ floppy drive, & Caddy loading CD-ROM drive. Missing one case foot. This system has been tested & appears to be in working order. It boots to the desktop with Macintosh OS 7.6.1. The auction is for the system only, there is no keyboard, monitor, mouse, cd caddy, manuals, disks, etc. Uses standard Macintosh monitor & standard ADB keyboard & mouse (readily available on eBay). Good cosmetic condition. A few usual light scuffs & scratches. As previously mentioned, it does work - but is being sold “as-is” (no guarantees, no returns) - due to age. This would make a nice addition to your valuable collection, certainly worthy of a computer museum. Please see photos for more details.
