Editing The PowerPC Macintosh Book 1994

'''''The PowerPC Macintosh Book''''' by '''Stephan Somogyi''', Addison-Wesley, 1994, ISBN 0-201-62650-0, Library of Congress 93-38276. The scan is '''241 pages'''.

'''This is not an Apple publication.''' It is a third-party book, and it is a '''secondary source''': where it disagrees with Apple's own service documentation, the Apple document wins.

== What it covers ==
An account of the PowerPC transition written with access to Apple engineers &mdash; the
acknowledgements name Michael Dhuey, Gary Davidian, Eric Traut and others &mdash; covering the RISC
architecture, emulation of the 68k, and what the first Power Macintosh hardware platform actually was.

== What it does not contain ==
* '''No parts lists, no component values and no schematics.''' It is an architecture book, not a
  service book.
* For electrical data on the first Power Macintoshes use the ''Service Source'' volumes, for example
  [[Power Macintosh 6100/ WS 6150 Service Source]].

== Pages that cite this document ==
* [[List of Apple Macintosh models by CPU type]] &mdash; the PowerPC transition
* [[The Power Mac Book 1995]]
