I got a huge stack of old computing magazines through a Freecycle conquest a while back and have slowly been going through them. As I went through the December 1984 issue of A+, I noticed a few cool peripherals as well as MacStation. Check it out...

Does anyone happen to have one of these? I really liked the "Control Center" that sets under the external 400k floppy. It reminded me a bit of the Mac Mini stuff I see today. I think it would be cool to have those controls right there at your fingertips.

I also found a pretty crazy peripheral made by Polaroid...

It prints slides directly from the screen! I thought that was pretty sweet. It looks like the Polaroid Palette has a Pentax k1000 hooked up to it. I'd be pretty amazed if any of us had one of those!

Nifty stuff from Kensington. I like the Swivel

The Polaroid bit is pretty nice too.

Thanks for sharing.

No problem! I love these old ads.

I remember a group of two Macintosh 128ks and another Macintosh 128k (two different auctions) being sold with the Maccessories surge suppressor on eBay.
