If he speaks French, you can’t speak German. You have to know what language he speaks and […]
The 33 MHz PowerBook 150 replaced the 25 MHz PowerBook 145b in July 1994. It offered faster performance at a lower price and was the final model in the 140/145/145b/150 line of economical PowerBooks. The 150 was also the lightest of the line, and its battery was rated at 2.5 hours, about 30 minutes longer than […]
The Quadra 630 was the last Mac designed around the 68040 processor. It was designed to replace the Quadra 610. LC and Performa versions of the 630 use the less expensive 68LC040, which lacks an FPU, while the Quadra 630 sports a full 68040. The slide-out motherboard makes upgrades very easy. The 630 was the first desktop […]

Blackbird was Apple’s code name for a new line of PowerBooks based on the 68LC040 processor. (The LC version of the 68040 draws less power but has no FPU.) These PowerBooks introduced a full-sized keyboard with 12 function keys, replaced the trackball with a trackpad, had a 640 x 480 screen, and even had built-in […]
Apple upped the ante by moving from the 68030 to the 68LC040 processor on the Duo 280 and 280c in May 1994. (The 68LC040 is a low power version of the 68040 with the internal FPU disabled.) Other than the CPU, this is essentially a Duo 270c. Like the 270c, the 280c supports 16-bit video […]

The Workgroup Server 9150 is the only Workgroup Server for which an equivalent Power Mac model was never released. Mac IIci and Workgroup Server 9150 Built into a modified Quadra 950 case, the 9150 has four NuBus slots and a processor direct slot (PDS). Like first-generation Power Macs, the 9150 uses system memory for video […]
The 60 MHz Power Mac 6100 was the entry-level Power Mac when Apple introduced its first PowerPC models in March 1994. Built into the Quadra 610 case, the 6100 contains a PDS (processor direct slot) that can be converted to a NuBus slot with an adapter. The Power Macintosh 6100 was also marketed under the […]
The 80 MHz Power Mac 8100 was the fastest Power Mac when Apple introduced the line in March 1994, and it was the only model to ship from the factory with a 256 KB level 2 cache installed. Built into a Quadra 800 case, the 8100 (a.k.a. 8115 in Japan as well as Apple Workgroup […]
The 66 MHz 7100 was the middle of the Power Mac line when Apple introduced its first PowerPC models in March 1994. Built into the Quadra 650 case, the 7100 has three NuBus slots and a PDS (processor direct slot). The 7100 uses system memory for motherboard video (up to 615 KB, depending on resolution […]
The LC 575 (a.k.a. Performa 575, 577, and 578) is essentially a Quadra 605 motherboard in an LC 520/550case. It normally shipped with 5 MB RAM and a CD-ROM drive, but there was an LC 575 in a 4 MB configuration without a CD-ROM drive – available only in the education market. Got a 500 Series […]
