The Macintosh Performa 5200CD is an all-in-one Macintosh with a built-in 15-inch colour monitor, introduced by Apple on May 1, 1995.[1] Low End Mac describes it as the first PowerPC Macintosh with an integrated monitor.[2] It is the consumer version of the Power Macintosh 5200/75 LC sold to schools, and EveryMac records that both were sold only in North America.[3] The same board and case were sold as the Performa 5210CD, 5215CD and 5220CD; the series is summarised on Macintosh Performa 5200.
EveryMac gives the discontinuation date as February 1, 1996 and lists three configurations: M3940LL/A with a 790 MB hard drive and 2× CD-ROM, M3941LL/A with the same drives plus a video input card and TV tuner, and M4110LL/A with a 1 GB hard drive and 4× CD-ROM, at US$1,900 and US$2,300.[3] Wikipedia's list of Apple codenames gives Bongo, Rebound, Trailblazer and Transformer for the 5200/5300 LC family.[4]

Apple's technical specifications give the weight as 47 lb. The Service Source prints "Without CD-ROM: 17 lb. With CD-ROM: 19 lb. (21.15 kg)"; the pound figures agree with neither the kilogram figure nor the technical specifications (p. 48).[1][5] Apple's technical specifications list System 7.5.1 to Mac OS 8.0; Low End Mac gives System 7.5.1 to Mac OS 9.1.[1][2]
Hardware
[edit | edit source]Logic board and memory
[edit | edit source]The 603 runs at 75 MHz on a 37.5 MHz bus.[1] Low End Mac says Apple based the board on the Quadra 605, with a 32-bit memory path, and used an 8-bit IDE controller, which keeps performance close to a 66 MHz Power Macintosh 6100.[2] There is no RAM on the board: the 8 MB supplied is a SIMM in one of the two sockets.[5] The 1 MB video frame buffer is separate DRAM on the logic board and does not come out of system RAM.[5]
Apple's parts lists name three logic boards: 661-0931 (75 MHz, Rev. A, 8-bit sound), 661-1008 (75 MHz, Rev. B, 16-bit sound) and 661-1041 (100 MHz, 5300 series).[5] Apple's technical specifications say that some systems have 8-bit sound. Low End Mac gives a way to tell the boards apart: if capacitor C255 is present, the board has 8-bit sound.[1][2]
Storage
[edit | edit source]The internal hard drive is IDE and Apple says to replace it like for like; it takes no SCSI ID and does not affect termination of the external SCSI chain.[5] Low End Mac notes that the IDE Macs do not supply SCSI termination power, so external devices must provide it; that the machine's IDE interface runs at PIO mode 3 at most; and that Apple HD SC Setup from System 7.5.1 and earlier does not recognise newer IDE drives, which need Drive Setup 1.0.3 or later.[2] The internal CD-ROM drive is SCSI and was set to ID 3 at the factory.[5]
Display, sound and expansion
[edit | edit source]The 832 × 624 mode does not support video input, so a video-in or TV tuner card that works at 640 × 480 will not show a picture there.[5] The internal speaker mutes when a plug is inserted in an output jack. The sound input takes a microphone or line source and mixes stereo to mono.[5]
The processor-direct slot accepts many cards designed for the Macintosh LC, but Apple says it is not a true PDS: cards that work with the main processor, such as RAM cache or FPU cards, do not work.[5] Low End Mac records that the modem port is disabled when a communications-slot modem is fitted and the printer port when a communications-slot Ethernet card is fitted, and that the serial ports on most board revisions do not support hardware handshaking.[2]
Revisions
[edit | edit source]Apple introduced a revised "Rev. B" chassis a few months after launch, with design changes that are not backward-compatible. On the original version the speakers are part of the front bezel; on Rev. B they are attached to the sides of the metal chassis. The rear label carries 620-0635 or 620-0835 on the original version and 620-0637 or 620-0837 on Rev. B.[5] The power supply, analogue/video board, rear housing, front bezel, EMI shield and speakers all differ between the two; the part numbers are on Macintosh Performa 5200CD General Maintenance.
PRAM battery
[edit | edit source]The battery is a 4.5 V alkaline pack, Rayovac in Apple's exploded view, fixed to the logic board with hook-and-loop tape and connected by a plug.[1][5] Apple's test is to replace it below 3.0 V (p. 217). Alkaline leakage is neutralised with white vinegar.
Known faults
[edit | edit source]- System freezes and sudden changes in colour hue, covered by Apple's Repair Extension Program; the checks are on Macintosh Performa 5200.[5]
- Open Transport 1.1 does not work on the 5200 and 5300 series; they need 1.1.1 (p. 7).[5]
- Network instability: Low End Mac recommends a 25-pin SCSI terminator on the SCSI port when no SCSI devices are attached, Open Transport 1.2 or later, and a serial printer on the modem port when no modem is used.[2]
- Leaking capacitors in the power supply and on the analogue board. No component-level capacitor list for this machine has been published; see Macintosh Performa 5200CD Capacitor Replacement Guide.
See Macintosh Performa 5200CD Troubleshooting for Apple's symptom charts and Macintosh Performa 5200CD General Maintenance for routine care.
Service documentation
