I was just getting ready to ask you about that, as the name sounded awfully
familiar. :)
I haven't seen it in action in more than a decade, but anyone who
I've never seen that before, despite using a Mac SE when they were
new. I suppose it is the forerunner of that dreadful Microsoft
paperclip... :D

I've got a Mac Plus with 4MB of RAM, and an external floppy. I'm
currently using an HD with it, but would like to see if I can get it
up and running with only floppies. So far, I've managed to get it up
and running, with Internet access with:
- System 6.0.8 minimum install
- Asante EN/SC Driver
I would love to send it off, I'll see if i can make it a .sit file or
something so that it won't die on the way to my PC for emailing (I
don't have my Mac collection online yet, still working on it)

If you gat a 30amp 90 deg. Power cable it will bend the other way. I've done
that, worked fine.
This is true in the USA. YMMV

Really? That seems like it's backwards. I've seen promo pictures of
the original Macintosh with the power cord angled downwards but
maybe that's just staged? I'll try and find the one I'm thinking of.

Yeah, that would be nice. I'll add it to the Macintosh Garden!

This is what's confusing me:

From that picture, it seems like they should angle downwards... Mine
looks pretty much like that, but sticks upwards. Anyone from that era
remember which way the power cords went? Or were supposed to go?

cool. That would be awesome to see that again! Lol I can remember it
like when I was 5 or so... It made trashing stuff way too fun :)

For what it's worth... I'm not from that era, but at
Hmmm. My Mac Plus has its cord straight out the back. Which means you can
use any comp. cord on it.

OK Apple must have made those cords to work on the compact macs.
That's why standard cords don't work.
But, a 30 amp cord will work.

Have a look at the connector as mounted into the internal power supply module.
Every Mac I have around here has the ground pin (the center of the three) on
the left side as you look from the rear of the computer.
It would be possible, on rebuilding a power module, to install the connector

Hmm... That's what I would have thought. That makes more sense. How
rare are the bent-type Apple power cords? I don't see many around. Did
they switch to the regular type power cord with the Plus? (Mine is a
Platinum Plus, if that makes a difference)

I think that the bent ones were\are designed so that you can push the
Compact Macs up against the wall (there were probably smaller ADB
cords and connector cords too)

Apple did sell oppositely angled power connectors, and at least one
use of the unconventional cable in question was indeed in certain of
the 'Espresso' design LaserWriters. More specifically, the Personal
Laserwriter 300 and 4/600 require these oddly shaped power connectors,
or else must be used w

One of my SE-30's has cable like the one in the picture. I'm assuming it is
original but I am not sure altough it looks pretty old and it is not as
thick as the new ones. I'm traveling so I'm not sure of which way it points.
