Apple hardware is often a feature of tech-focused auctions, and sometimes you’ll find prototypes that weren’t sold to the public. One October auction offers the opportunity to pick up one such prototype, if you have deep enough pockets.
The auction at Bonhams in New York is listing an extremely rare Apple Macintosh prototype for sale. The #M0001 prototype, dating back to 1983, is the lesser-spotted “Twiggy” model, due to its use of 5.25-inch Twiggy disk drives, instead of the 400K 3.5-inch drives used for the Mac 128.
