Wow thats in my home city!!!  

but seriously though it doesn't compare to this *BEYOND RARE* not just rare but *BEYOND RARE* auction  

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BEYOND-RARE-PROTOTYPE-MACINTOSH-128k-APPLE-MAC-5-25-TWIGGY-DISK-DRIVE-/160786633772?_trksid=p4340.m1374&_trkparms=algo%3DPI.WATCH%26its%3DC%252BS%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D15%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8146443204737742145

Seriously no match for 128k of memory power!!!  muhhaha!

One of these sold recently for a lot of dosh, a prototype IIRC, but I don't think it was $84k.  The FileWare "twiggy" drives are pretty rare in the 128k Macs because Apple offered a free upgrade to the 3.5" 400k drives due to the FileWare drives being highly unreliable.

This system was recently featured in a bunch of geek rags.  In fact, ISTR these exact pictures being used.  The seller is "wozniak," but I doubt that he's "The Woz."

Correction: The FileWare drives were only used in the Mac prototypes, period.  The free upgrades were offered for the Lisa.
