Good eye. I suspect that keyboard cable isn't plugged into anything back there and it's just been routed that way because the photographer didn't want to risk damaging it by plugging / unplugging anything.
Just a guess.

Interesting to know... Yes, it is like eBay, at least for online auctions: "A max bid sets the highest bid you are willing to place on a lot and continues to bid on your behalf until that bid is exceeded. If two or more bidders leave identical bids, the first bid received takes precedence. You can change your maximum bid amount if the current bid is lower than your maximum bid." |

Interesting to know... The buyer pays the price bid PLUS an additional premium above the bid - in the US it is a heavy 27% for this sale. "27% of the hammer price of amounts in excess of $50,000 up to and including $1,000,000;" https://www.bonhams.com/how-to-buy/buyers-premium-united-states/ |

noticed the keyboard wasn't plugged into the front keyboard location - for a prototype, it seems odd to have the final incarnation of the front completed and route the cable around the back.
Even in this earlier 2020 auction, the molds show the final location so it wasn't an afterthought during the prototype phase. (interesting to note that there is another Twiggy Mac in waiting with that serial number) https://www.bonhams.com/auction/26078/lot/71/apple-macintosh-evolution-group-of-3-original-molded-plastic-faceplates-apple-inc-1983-1984/ |

hope that helps. Yes, it sure does! If one selects the out edge of the raster to be near the middle of the inner/outer limits, that gives a width of 8.6" and a height of 6.4", and so 720x364 pixels are then 0.011944" Wide x 0.017582" High; a ratio of 1.472. That's closer to 3:2 than 4:3. Still, drawing a rectangle on a square pixel screen of 720x2 by 364x3 does not look right (to me)... I speculate that this may be because adjusting to the graticule dimensions will fill the vertical size of the viewable area of the CRT, but leave substantial unused margins at the sides. ie. although the viewable real estate of the CRT in the bezel is close to 9" x 6" (more precisely 9.49" x 6.73"), once adjusted to the graticule, the ratio of the 8.6" x 6.4" raster is perceivably different at 1.3438. The Lisa included so many great innovations, but the Mac's WYSIWYG display is arguably insanely great. Many thanks for the measurements & drawing! |

If you can still find it (or run across another one), please measure the height and width of the two rectangles that bound the outline of the raster so we can determine the range -- I was able to measure it using a grid overlay. The dimensions are noted in the attached image. If the numbers aren't exact they are damn close. Anyway, hope that helps. NOTE: replaced PNG with letter sized PDF |

The article here lists many versions of the Boot ROM: https://lisafaq.sunder.net/lisafaq-hw-rom_versions.html
Through Bitsavers, we have copies of B, C, D, F, and H archived. Does anyone have a dump of ROM versions A, E, or G (just for the sake of completeness), or any other proto-versions not listed here? |
