The Power Macintosh 6200 (Power Macintosh 6200/75) is a desktop Macintosh with a 75 MHz PowerPC 603 processor in the low-profile case of the Macintosh Quadra 630. Apple dates it May 1, 1995; EveryMac gives May 28, 1995 and says it was sold only in Asia, while the same machine was sold worldwide as the Macintosh Performa 6200CD and related Performa models.[1][2] Apple's developer note describes it as functionally identical to the all-in-one Power Macintosh 5200, with a low-profile case and an external monitor.[3]
Hardware
| Item | Figure |
|---|---|
| Processor | PowerPC 603 at 75 MHz; the 603 bus is 64 bits wide at 37.5 MHz. A Capella bus bridge connects it to the 32-bit 68040-style bus used by the F108 memory controller, Valkyrie video controller and PrimeTime II I/O controller |
| Cache and ROM | 256 KB level-2 cache and 4 MB ROM on one 160-pin DIMM card |
| RAM | 8 MB standard in one 72-pin SIMM; two SIMM slots, 80 ns or faster; 64 MB maximum |
| Video | 1 MB DRAM frame buffer on the logic board; 640 × 480 at 16-bit, 800 × 600 and 832 × 624 at 8-bit; external monitors up to 15 inches |
| Sound | 8 bits per channel stereo output and mono input; one internal speaker |
| Storage | 500 MB IDE hard drive; internal SCSI connection for an optional CD-ROM drive; 1.4 MB SuperDrive |
| Ports | Two serial ports, SCSI (DB-25), one ADB, sound in and out, DB-15 video |
| Expansion | LC-compatible processor-direct slot (114-pin); 112-pin communications slot for a modem or Ethernet card; 60-pin video-in slot; optional internal TV tuner |
| Power | Soft power from the keyboard or remote control. Apple's specification page gives 150 W maximum, 115 V (90–132 V) or 230 V (180–264 V) AC |
| Clock battery | 4.5 V alkaline pack (Apple's specification page) |
Sources: Apple's developer note, chapters 1 and 2;[3][4] bus clock, power and battery from Apple's specification page.[1][5] Apple's specification page lists "10/100 Base T" Ethernet, which the developer note does not support: Ethernet needs a communications-slot card.[1][3]
EveryMac says 1 MB of system RAM is used for video. Apple's developer note gives a separate 1 MB DRAM frame buffer on the logic board.[2][3]
Service information
Apple wrote no Service Source for the Power Macintosh 6200 itself. Its Performa 6200/6300 Series Service Source covers the Performa versions of the same logic board and case: 8 MB minimum in one SIMM slot, 1 MB DRAM frame buffer, 256K level-2 cache, 100–240 V AC, and a supply rated 125 W, 2.5 A (pp. 26–42).[6] That manual lists 16-bit mono input and 16-bit stereo output with two speakers for the Performa 6200 (p. 36), where the developer note gives 8-bit stereo output and one speaker for the Power Macintosh 6200.[6][3]
The battery is a pack on a plug and a hook-and-loop base on the logic board, removed with the I/O door and logic board. Apple's test is to replace it below 3.0 V on the 10 V DC range, and the symptom charts call it the "4.5 V battery" (pp. 56, 65, 164–167).[6] Alkaline leakage is caustic; neutralise it with a mild acid such as white vinegar. See Battery Explosion, Capacitor or Corrosion Damage.
The Performa 6200 family had an Apple Repair Extension Program covering the cache/ROM DIMM and Open Transport 1.1.1 (p. 8); the program as printed lists Performa models only.[6] The program's procedure and Apple's symptom charts for the family are on Macintosh Performa 6200CD.
Console5 lists the logic board capacitors of the 5200/6200 board 820-0685-B: three 100 µF 6 V (C6, C9, C25), seven 47 µF 16 V (C7, C8, C10, C34, C45, C46, C51) and one 22 µF 25 V (C14).[7]
