This is something very special to me.

2020 Mac mini DTK A12X (Developer Transition Kit)

Shown here is my fully repaired & rebuilt from scrap DTK (fixed by @dosdude1) along with a drilled PVT logic board. I saved my original box & inserts before I had to send it back to Apple🧵 The DTK was a special built Mac to help developers create/update their software for Apple Silicon Macs. Apple called it the "Universal App Quick Start Program".

You had to apply (+ be a paid developer) and if picked, Apple would loan you a DTK at a cost of $500 for 6 months.
