| Holy Crap!! TAM Serial number 000032 | |
| Posted by: nextse7en on 2009-02-28 19:07:39 My recent score off of ebay, the TAM was badly damaged in shipment, and not well cared for by its previous owner, I am painstakingly trying to restore it. But look at these.   Sparticus, as most of you know, was the internal apple code name for the 20th anniversary macintosh. I wonder if this was a prototype? -More as I find it. | |

| Posted by: Charlieman on 2009-03-01 09:28:04 The EVT label identifies the TAM as an "Evaluation, Validation and Testing" unit. In other words, the design was finished, and the TAM was being sent down the production line to determine whether everything fitted correctly. Or it was being sent to a developer for final software testing. However, it is not a prototype. It's still a nice find, so don't destroy those labels. | |
