Finally I will explain how I dated this Twiggy Mac, and I will conjecture what may be stored on the single Twiggy disk that accompanies it. First I will comment on the case and keyboard, then look inside the Twiggy Mac. Join me in this Mac 512K Blog article as I review this particular model and uncover its history. If you’re looking for your own Steve Jobs memorabilia, we heard about an interesting auction this week.Yet another prototype Twiggy Macintosh was brought to light this summer as a user posting on the 68KMLA forums as "OldMacGuy" showed photos of his working machine, which included a single 5.25" Twiggy disk labeled "MacIntosh Demos ROM 2.45."

However, since Steve rarely signed autographs, making his signature and handwriting particularly valuable, as much certainty as possible was needed due to the potential impact on the value of the serialized machines.īaqué asked one of the world’s leading handwriting authentication services to compare the serial numbers on two of the Apple 1 boards with known patterns of Steve’s handwriting. 7 rejection, the handwriting on the plaques appeared to match his.
