I made some pictures of my Macintosh Plus-ses and ED.

My ED has serial number C8071DWM0001WP and on the back the model is called m0001D.It is Platinum.
I found on this site that there are 5 models:

Macintosh ED
The Macintosh ED [M0001ED] was a 512K/800 [M0001D] packaged for sale through educational institutions. There appear to be four editions of these machines:

– Beige with M0001ED model number. [Serial numbers begin with F, for Fremont, California]
– Platinum with M0001ED model number. [F]
– Beige with “Macintosh ED” printed on the front and M0001D model number on the back. [Serial numbers begin with C, for Cork, Ireland.]
– Platinum with “Macintosh ED” printed on the front and M0001D model number on the back. [C]

Note: I have never seen a M0001ED with a 110-120V power supply.

Macintosh Plus ED
The Macintosh Plus ED was a platinum Macintosh Plus with “Macintosh Plus ED” printed on the

front and a standard 220-240V M0001AP model number on the back.

So mine is mentioned. But what I don’t understand is that the serial has a M0001WP in it…
Normaly that would mean that is was a 512K. But the back says that it is a M0001D.

My Plus-ses are two in beige and one in platinum. The same site tells us:

All original Macintosh Plus [M0001A and M0001AP] machines had the words “Macintosh Plus” on
the front and came with the M0110A extended keyboard. There were three generations:

“Beige” Macintosh Plus machines read “Macintosh Plus 1 Mb” on the back, with no copyright
date. Beige was also the color of the Macintosh 128K and 512K, as well as the 512Ke.
In 1987, Apple changed the label on the back to read “Macintosh Plus 1 Mb” with a 1987
copyright date. The case color was changed to “platinum” to match the color of the new
Macintosh II and SE machines. The owner’s guide was redesigned and revised (see below).
In 1988, Apple changed the label on the back to read “Macintosh Plus” with a 1988 copyright
date. The owner’s guide was redesigned and revised again (see below).

One of the Plus-ses is very old. Made in 1985!

Your European Macintosh Plus (M0001AP), with serial number C55135EM0001AP, was the
