High production machine
The Mac Plus had a production run of nearly five years, the longest of any Mac in Apple history! That means lots of supply and a lower price.
I like the later Platinum colored ones that don't yellow. One of these in original box, manuals and disks, in excellent condition, can be worth $300+.
Most modular Black and White Macs need a new flyback on the analog board. .

The Mac Plus was in production (according to Mactracker) from Jan 1986 to Oct 1990 so 4 years 10 months. The IIci was in production for Sept 1989 to Feb 1993 so 3 years 5 months in production. Apparently the Mac Plus also holds the title for the greatest range of OS's it is able to run of any Mac - System 1 thru to OS 7.5.5.
I have run system 1.1 thou to 6.0.4 on mine, it needs a HD to run anything much higher, which I don't have.

There really is not that much difference between System 1 & System 4 just minor details. Today the updates would be incremental updates i.e. 10.1, 10.2, etc rather than a whole OS number update for the same changes. The early OS's where amazingly simple and elegant you really could learn how to use it from scratch in an hour or so. System 6 is quite a big update and it really should have been System 2. If you have an old Mac and want to try out System 1.1 the disk image is available here: http://www.nd.edu/~jvanderk/sysone/macEfan said:
