The Macintosh Performa 600CD is the Macintosh Performa 600 with an internal CD-ROM drive. EveryMac lists it with 5 MB of RAM, a 160 MB hard drive and a double-speed CD-ROM drive, under order numbers K0144LL/A and K0145LL/A, which differed in the bundled software and CD-ROM titles.[1] Apple covers the 600 and 600CD on one specification sheet, which gives 14 September 1992 and 18 October 1993 as the introduction and discontinuation dates and 160 MB as the smallest internal hard drive.[2]
The rest of the machine is the Performa 600: a Macintosh IIvx logic board design at 32 MHz without the IIvx's 32 KB cache, and with the 68882 FPU optional.[3] See the Performa 600 page for the full specification, power supply and battery.
CD-ROM drive and video
[edit | edit source]The 1 MB of VRAM allows 640 × 480 at 16 bits per pixel; with 512K the limit is 8 bits per pixel at that size.[4] The CD-ROM drive sits in the 5.25-inch bay at SCSI ID 3; it must not be terminated, while the 3.5-inch hard drive must be. CD audio reaches the logic board through a four-pin connector, plays in mono through the internal speaker and in stereo at the headphone jack.[3] Apple's parts list for the family includes the AppleCD 300, 300i and 600i drives.[4]
