| Strange Macintosh 512K HyperDrive... Without Hard Disk! | |
| Posted by: Jujul98 on 2016-05-31 08:29:16 Hi, I've found this strange Macintosh 512K HyperDrive model. There is no Hard Drive and no fan inside... Is anyone know what is this? (Developer model?)    | |
| Posted by: Elfen on 2016-05-31 08:38:06 That looks like a standard Mac 512K logic board. Looks like what ever Hyperdrive was in there was removed a long time ago but the label remains. | |
| Posted by: Jujul98 on 2016-05-31 09:35:16 I think this 512K had never had hard drive because the logic and powerboard were not modified (like other Hyperdrive 512k). But it's only an assumption 🙂 Did all the HyperDrive Macintosh 512K have a fan? | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2016-05-31 10:08:34 I believe they install kit shipped with a bracket and fan, yes. | |
| Posted by: Jujul98 on 2016-05-31 12:12:21 Ok thanks Mine doesn't have fan... I'm lost ! | |
| Posted by: techknight on 2016-05-31 13:51:55 it was removed long ago. my hyperdrive unit had the drive gutted out of it probably for data protection. | |
| Posted by: Jujul98 on 2016-06-01 11:11:12 You're porbably right! Or I have a "normal" Macintosh 512 with the back case of HyperDrive 512k 🙂 | |
| Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2016-06-01 15:01:55 Yeah, unfortunately a lot of ebay sellers these days find cool stickers and stick them onto anything to sell the item for a greater price... Is there a logo on the front bezel? Every dealer fitted Hyperdrive should have one. | |
| Posted by: unity on 2016-06-01 20:00:22 Side note: That is one messed up serial label. Never seen one with the type so messy. | |
| Posted by: Jujul98 on 2016-06-02 00:15:24 No logo on the front bezel... I bought it with a lot of others Macintosh near Paris in an old factory... The seller does not know what he was selling! So I don't think he sticks "HyperDrive" stickers... Another thing, When I turn on this Macintosh, it doesn't "boing" but it works perfectly. The speaker works when the system is launched! | |
