Apple Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM) – 1997 – Collection set with the 4 original cases
Rare Apple Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh, prestige computer marketed in 1997 to celebrate Apple Computer's twentieth anniversary.
This unit stands out for its very good apparent aesthetic condition, demonstrated operation, and especially for preserving its original ensemble: computer, Bose system, exclusive French AZERTY keyboard, documentation, specific accessories, and the four numbered Apple cases.
A particularly interesting set for Apple collectors and enthusiasts of historical computing.
Original set and accessories
The lot notably includes:
• Apple Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh with integrated LCD screen and Bose audio system.
• Bose Acoustimass subwoofer with integrated Apple power supply.
• French TAM AZERTY keyboard with integrated trackpad and palm rest.
• Original Apple remote control.
• Official Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh user manual in French.
• Original documentation pouch.
• Official “Welcome Tour” CD.
• CD storage pouch.
• Cables, adapters and Apple connection module.
• Expansion card accompanied by its anti-static packaging.
• Large outer Apple box illustrated with the twentieth anniversary.
The four original individual cases are preserved:
Begin here – Documentation and accessories
Computer – Computer and interior protections
Bose Unit – Bose audio system
Keyboard – TAM-specific keyboard
The original protections, packing foams and compartments are also present, as shown in the photographs.
Configuration and operation
The computer boots under Mac OS 7.6.1 in French.
Configuration taken directly from the system information:
PowerPC 603ev at 250 MHz
96 MB RAM
Internal hard drive of 2 GB
MATSHITA CR-8005J CD-ROM drive, recognized by the system
Integrated color LCD screen
The photographs show the computer in operation as well as a file copy procedure.
The overall aesthetic condition is very satisfactory given its age. The packaging shows signs of handling and storage.
Historical and collector interest
The Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh is one of Apple’s most iconic computers.
Its avant-garde design, its Bose multimedia equipment and its particularly elaborate commercial presentation make it an emblematic object of the late 1990s.
Preservation of the four numbered cases, their spacers and the specific accessories constitutes a major asset for a unit intended for a collection.
The set is sold in accordance with the photographs, which are an integral part of the lot description.
