Macintosh PC Exchange Box

Posted by: Ajaxermd on 2021-11-13 12:57:22

I've been trying to track down this box for Macintosh PC Exchange. It seems to be an uncommon variant.

Variant 1 Variant 2
The box with the hands (Variant 2) exchanging the PC disk (picture 2) seems much more common.

Does anyone have this box? If so, I'd really appreciate some hi-res photos of the front/back/sides. I've recreated a few boxes that I've been unable to buy, see some samples below. Also happy to buy if anyone is selling.

I have this one (well, one like it):

Macintosh PC Exchange Apple Utilities Computer Software 1992 M1252LL/A NIB NOS | eBay

See photos for a closer look! We love putting cool stuff in the hands of people who will love it, and keeping history out of the landfill.

Mr Fahrenheit, You are everywhere! I do have that older version of the box, but specifically looking for this version.
http://images.macintosh.garden/2021/11/14/167-Macintosh-PC-Exchange.jpg Someone on r/vintageapple found this hi-res version.

My goal is to recreate this wall from the Apple Campus Store. At least, the Apple and Claris boxes.

Only three Apple boxes left to complete at least on copy of everything on the wall.
1. PC Exchange
2. Print Pack. -this one has been impossible to find. All I know about it is "M7900LL/A and it "includes software and cable to connect a Macintosh CPU to a MS-DOS printer."
3. In the "wall of software picture" above there is one box I've never been able to identify. Its diagonally down to the left from the At Ease box. It looks like the System 6 series boxes.

That's a very cool software wall picture. I have one that I'm myself creating. So far about 120 titles and growing, mostly new/sealed.

Those boxes under and diagonal to At Ease I'm unsure of. The photo is too low resolution to decipher. If you have most of the boxes in this photo, you have my respect. There are some in that photo I'd love to own. Specifically the last versions of HyperCard (I missed out on an auction today for 2.3.5).

Enjoy the collection!
