I found this Old MAC SE...

Now I took it apart to see what was inside for chips of course, when I saw that inside the back panel are a whole bunch of signatures( builders names) !

Is there like 1000000 of these or what's up with this one ?


Update:
The chips inside are:
Motorola MC68000P8
Zilog Z8530PS
NCR 5380 (8738S)
more...

Thanx,


JD Cool

Question answered, thanx !

:"The Mac 128, the 512k, the 512KE (same but with an 800K floppy drive), and the SE have the signatures of their developers molded as engravings on the inside of the case at the rear".



...so it's not a "rare" case at all...in the garbage it goes then!
