VINTAGE/RARE Apple PowerBook 3400 Prototype (codenamed: Hooper) 

On offer is a VINTAGE/RARE Apple PowerBook 3400 Prototype (codenamed: Hooper).

This prototype (DVT - Development Validity Testing) unit is in good cosmetic condition considering its age. The PB however does *not* power up. It is still however a good example of an Apple prototype of the PB3400 series.

The PB is provided only with a main battery and removable floppy drive.

For details on the PB3400 series see the following web site, http://www.apple-history.com/3400.

This prototype has the following details...

* This PB is DVT 'Build #332', PB Development Team s/n: PB03232 (bottom case also has s/n: CK6252PV8GK, meaning the PB was built in week 25 of 1996 making this prototype almost 16 years old)

* PB is equipped with 200MHz IBM CPU, Samsung 12.1 SVGA LCD, 16MB of on-board RAM and 2GB hard drive

* PB comes with removable floppy drive module

* PB comes with 'Hooper Pre-Production Li-Ion Battery)

* ONLY the top case palm rests have the plastics etched. The remainder of the PB's plastics are non-etched (i.e. shiny) which is typical of the way prototypes are 'assessed' before going into mass production.
