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 |

The Macintosh Performa 588 is an alternate name for the Macintosh Performa 588CD, the consumer variant of the Macintosh LC 580 sold exclusively in Europe and Asia.[1] All Performa 588 units shipped with a 2X CD-ROM drive; the "CD" suffix was sometimes omitted in marketing materials.
In Japan, the 588 shipped with KanjiTalk 7.5 for Japanese language support. The model shares its hardware platform with the Macintosh Performa 580CD but was marketed in different regions.
Hardware Overview
[edit | edit source]The Performa 588 shares its logic board with the Macintosh LC 580 and uses the same LC 630-derived architecture:
- Processor: Motorola 68LC040 at 33 MHz (no FPU)
- RAM: 4 MB soldered on-board plus 4 MB SIMM (8 MB total), expandable to 52 MB
- Storage: 500 MB IDE hard drive, 2X CD-ROM
- Display: 14" shadow mask CRT (not Sony Trinitron) at 640×480
- Expansion: LC PDS slot, communications slot, video I/O slot
Regional Variants
[edit | edit source]| Region | Order Number | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Japan | M4059J/A | KanjiTalk 7.5 pre-installed |
| Europe | Varies | Standard System 7.5 |
| Asia | Varies | Standard System 7.5 |

Capacitor Replacement Guide
[edit | edit source]The Performa 588 uses the same logic board as the LC 580. For capacitor specifications and replacement procedures, see Macintosh Performa 580 Capacitor Replacement Guide.
