===================================================================== Power Macintosh 6100/60: Description (3/94) ===================================================================== Overview -------- The Power Macintosh 6100/60 and Power Macintosh 6100/60AV are the most affordable members of the new high-performance line of Macintosh computers that use the revolutionary PowerPC chip technology. With this technology, they deliver the performance that business and education users demand while maintaining the legendary Macintosh ease of use and the ability to run virtually all existing Macintosh applications. In addition, Power Macintosh computers run applications written to take advantage of Power Macintosh capabilities at two to six times the speed of previous Macintosh computers based on the 040 chip. Both computers also support MS-DOS and Windows applications when using SoftWindows software. Based on the 60-megahertz PowerPC 601 microprocessor co-developed by Apple, IBM, and Motorola, the Power Macintosh 6100/60 and 6100/60AV both have built-in, floating-point math coprocessors and come with 8 megabytes of RAM, expandable to up to 72 megabytes. They also provide on-board high-speed Ethernet support. Both computers support most Apple and third-party displays, including monochrome, color, VGA, and SVGA. The 6100/60AV supports 32,000 colors on all Apple displays and also supports NTSC and PAL monitors. Both computers can easily be expanded. The Power Macintosh 6100/60 has eight built-in ports and one expansion slot. The Power Macintosh 6100/60AV has eleven built-in ports and supports a second simultaneous display. Support for GeoPort telecommunications (integrating your phone and your computer), speech-recognition, and text-to-speech capabilities is built into both computers. The 6100/60AV adds S-video and composite video input as well as output for use with televisions, video cameras, and video recorders. The Power Macintosh 6100/60 and Power Macintosh 6100/60AV provide an affordable gateway to Power Macintosh technologyãand the future of personal computing.
