Macintosh Performa 588CD - Revision history

Josh: Red-link sweep: retarget delegation links to the pages that actually exist (LC 550/LC 580/Performa 6100 sub-pages do not, the Performa 550/580 and Power Macintosh 6100 ones do), fix the malformed 'Macintosh Power Macintosh 5400' title, and de-link targets with no page

Josh: Apple Service Source: added Apple's figures - 4 MB on board to 52 MB in two 72-pin SIMM sockets, 1 MB non-expandable VRAM, 11.5-inch viewable image, 120 W / 2.0 A supply on a 90-264 V rms input, 9-pin mini-DIN modem port, 22-pin external video connector, and the 3.0 V lithium PRAM threshold (bicarbonate, not vinegar). Sound is mono in / 8-bit stereo out
