Mac IIvi

The Mac IIvi is a slower version of the Mac IIvx, running a 16 MHz 68030 CPU on a 16 MHz bus. The IIvi was never sold in the United States. Unlike the IIvx, the IIvi cannot accept a level 2 (L2) cache, although it can accept an accelerator.

Macintosh IIviIn terms of performance, on some benchmarks it held its own against the crippled IIvx.

The Mac IIvi was the first Mac available with a built-in CD-ROM drive and also the first Mac to use a metal case.

The floppy drive mounting sled used in the IIvi, IIvx, Centris 650, Quadra 650, and Power Mac 7100 can also be used for a hard drive if you no longer need the floppy drive.
