In 1985, Apple was rumored to be working on a Turbo Mac, an upgraded original Mac with a 68010 instead of a 68000, and up to 2 megs of RAM instead of 128K or 512K.

Well, that Mac never came out, and instead we got the Mac Plus with the same ol' 68000.

However, the 68010 is pin compatible with the 68000 in some packages... and I found one! Combined with the 2 meg RAM upgrade we found in our Mac 128K, we should be able to upgrade it to match the specs of that rumored Turbo Mac.

Or we'll completely ruin it. Who knows! Come find out!
