Fixing Up Apple's Last Compact Mac

décembre 17, 2022 Mourad ELGORMA

The first Mac came with a small built-in screen. The last so-called compact Mac rolled off the assembly line a decade later in 1994, but strangely, was never sold in the US. I finally got my hands on one — but can I get it working?

(And for anyone wondering: The accepted definition of a « compact » Mac is an all-in-one model with screen of 9-10″ in size. The iMac, therefore, doesn’t count.)
