This is an early 2008 MacBook Pro 17" prototype with red logic board. Working fine. It has a 2007 17" a1229 prototype body and a1261 prototype red logic board. Both have 2 different serial numbers and not recognized. Any advise on the history?

I read that site. It's not the same. The super drive is different.

Imagine Steve Job's face when the design team showed him this prototype red board covered with pieces of tape...

Haha back then they do use these yellow kapton tapes on MacBooks logic boards. On powerbooks too if I am not wrong.

With regard to value, I have trouble believing that it would be particularly valuable since few people seem to want MBPs of this vintage to begin with, and I don't think there are very many people who would see value in it being a prototype, even if it is kind of cool.

I agree but there are already quite a few interested. to each their own. If you luckily somehow managed to get a prototype in your hands, definitely you be curious to know the history, value etc. ?
