You thought the Apple TV was a new idea for Apple? Guess again, thanks to a rare prototype sold on eBay this past week.
AppleInsider reports on a prototype Apple Interactive Television Box that was sold on eBay this past week for only $45. The device, which was manufactured in 1995, featured chips from Motorola, Texas Instruments, and VLSI Technology (a company that is no longer around).
The device featured composite video and audio output, serial and S-Video ports, an Ethernet network input, and RF coaxial input and outputs.
The Apple Museum claims that the device was under development by British Telecom in 1993. According to them, the device was placed in 2,500 homes as part of a trial.
The set top box had 4MB of RAM, 2MB of ROM, an MPEG-1 decoder, and the Mac operating system featuring QuickTime. There was also a CD-ROM drive and remote control.
