Oops! You're right. I purchased the "Fat Mac" which had 512 K. of RAM. With that now corrected (Thanks, Harry!
), the machine I owned was, indeed, the one that came after the 128 k. RAM version.
I remember that I was the envy of everyone else there for awhile, as the Mac didn't have this arcane user inferface that CP/M and TRS-DOS (Tandy/Radio Shack) had. I can't remember if MS-DOS had yet to come out at that time.
I bought all this for $2,800 and I paid an extra $100 for the case and $50 more for a box of 10 blank disks. The whole shebang was no less transportable than the Kaypro, but it was "way cooler," as the adolescents in their teens and early 20s today would say.
