Por eso el Unitron Mac 512 resulta tan fascinante: permite diferenciar entre una copia estética, un clon no autorizado pero operativo, y los clones Macintosh con licencia que llegarían mucho después.
El Unitron Mac 512 ocupa un lugar muy particular dentro de la historia del hardware Macintosh clásico.
No fue un clon aprobado por Apple ni perteneció al programa oficial de licenciamiento que aparecería años después en los 90. Su origen está en Brasil, a mediados de los años 80, en un contexto donde el país limitaba la importación de computadoras extranjeras y promovía el desarrollo tecnológico local.
Lo interesante no está solo en su apariencia...
BBEdit is one of the oldest text editors for the Macintosh. It was initially released back in 1992 for Macintosh System 6. It's still one of the very best ones available. I just upgraded to the latest release BBEdit version 16. 😎

Since I’d only played the Macintosh version, I didn’t realize it was a "deluxe" edition. The mouse made level creation so much easier!
I don’t remember what the box for the French edition looked like (I don’t recall the image on top)

"MacSurf, a web browser port of Netsurf for Mac OS 9 with native TLS"
Downloaded it to the #iBook running #MacOS9 and started MacSurf. I could browse sites like #osnews pretty well actually.

The Pumpkin Patch
- Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, CA
Likely around 2001, way before the area was fenced. We should go back sometime soon 🤔

Just noticed this instance is missing my commemorative toot!
I managed to fully restore an Italian Macintosh Classic! (And convert it from 240 to 127v)
The 30yr+ original SCSI disk is still alive and kicking too! Just need to service the floppy drive and figure out how to stabilise the display.
The poor thing was in bad shape. Lots of caps leaked and corroded the analog board and even the chassis! A few others on the motherboard, but nothing as bad as the AB. It was soooooo dirty when it arrived too. It was a surprise to boot it and see a "Benvenuto in Macintosh."
Beautiful machine. Happy to have a little piece of history here. Oh! The old SCSI drive was imaged and safely stored, thanks to BlueSCSI. <3
