In 1998, Apple dropped support for all M0001 Macintosh computers along with many other products. Apple has long since forgotten about your M0001, but it lives on forever on The M0001 Macintosh Registry!

If you own an original Macintosh through a Mac Plus, it is an original M0001 Macintosh model and you should register it at The M0001 Registry database project.

There is no information required on this database, you may enter as much or as little as you are comfortable with. However, you will not be able to make changes once you post the entry to help combat vandalism and preserve the integrity of the database information. If you do make a mistake, please send your changes to the administrator to update your listing, however, you will need to identify yourself as the original poster of the entry. Likewise, should you sell your model M0001 Macintosh, please notify your buyer to register too, so that the new ownership may be reflected (i.e. location). Ultimately, this searchable database will hopefully become a valuable research tool for vintage Macintosh hobbyists and academia, if not just an interesting historical picture of the usefulness of the original Macintosh model.

Here's a few pointers for entering information:

1. The serial number is really all that is required. It can be found

    underneath the front bezel next to the contrast knob or on the very

    bottom of the case. The manufacture information can be determined by

    entering the serial number in this decoder:

    http://macfaq.org/serial.html And you may chose to enter it into the

    database or not. Please also list the current location of the M0001 if

    nothing else. Your Model is determined by the serial number for the

    purposes of this database, regardless of what your M0001 has been

    converted into.

Note you can enter serial numbers for the Macintosh & Macintosh 128K (M0001), Macintosh 512K (M0001W), Macintosh 512Ke (M0001E), Macintosh Plus (M0001A), any variations not included here (P, D, etc.) and certain Apple disk drives designed specifically for use with the M0001 which manufacture information can also be derived from the above linked decoder. These include the Hard Disk 20 (M0135), 400K External Drive (M0130) and 800K External Drive (M0131) the serial number of which for the decoder is created by adding the model number to then end. So please register everything you have.

2. RAM should only list that RAM that is permanently installed (soldered)

    in your M0001, not clipped on upgrades that can be removed. In the

    case of the Mac Plus, obviously all of the RAM is removable, but for this

    purpose consider 1-4MB "permanent", regardless if more has been

    added through 3rd party add-on boards.

3. Under description, feel free to list anything about your M0001 that is

    not taken care of in the database fields like that Dove MacSnap RAM &

    512K SCSI upgrades, internal hard drives, accelerators, etc., as well as

    the color of paint you used, the type of modifications you've made and

    how you use it. Don't forget to click the "3rd party upgrade" box ONLY

    if you have added anything upgrading it beyond Apple's OFFICIAL

    upgrade path, i.e. 128K-512K-512Ke-Plus 1MB-2MB-2.5MB-4MB.
