NuBus adapter available for PDS slot
The 6100/60 was the low end model of the original Power Macintosh
family. Released in March of 1994 the machine proved quite
popular and sold well. It sported the first of the new family
of processors that Apple was migrating towards, the PowerPC
(a 601 chip running at 60Mhz). It came with 8MB of RAM soldered
to the motherboard and the ability to add 64MB more into two
RAM slots (it may be possible to add more RAM but Apple officially
supports only 72MB). RAM must be added in similar sized pairs.
There is a slot for L2 cache though the original version of
the machine shipped without any. Adding a 1024K of L2 cache
can boost processor performance up to 50% and video
performance up to 90%. The 6100 shipped without any graphics
memory and used 640K of regular memory as memory for video.
A large L2 cache will allow graphics memory allocation to
be held in the cache thus boosting video performance significantly.
The machine has one 7" PDS slot that can accommodate an Intel
processor for running Windows applications or a regular processor
upgrade. The 6100 came in models with and without a CD ROM
drive and AV capability. Nine months after it's release the
6100 received a speed bump to 66Mhz.
