4/19/2010 Power Macintosh 8100 - Wikipedia, the… Power Macintosh 8100 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Power Macintosh 8100 (Codenames: "Cold Fusion", Power Macintosh 8100 "Flagship"; also sold in Japan as the Power Macintosh 8115 and with bundled server software as the Apple Workgroup Server 8150) is a personal computer that is a part of Apple Computer's Power Macintosh series of Macintosh computers. It was introduced in March 1994 alongside the Power Macintosh 6100 and the Power Macintosh 7100 as the high end model of the original Power Macintosh series and a direct continuation of the prior Macintosh Quadra 800. It also shares the 800's notoriously cramped case. The 8100 originally featured a PowerPC 601 at 80 MHz, but was upgraded to 100 MHz in November 1994, and further to 110 MHz in January 1995. In August 1995, the 8100 was discontinued in favor of the Power Macintosh 8500. The main variant of the 8100 are the 8100AV models, which came with an analog video in/out card in its Processor Direct Power Macintosh 8100/80AV Slot.

RISC processors streamline the internal workings of computers. Whereas traditional (complex instruction-set computing, or CISC) processors contain a wide variety of instructions to handle many different tasks, RISC processors contain only those instructions that are used most often. When a complex instruction is needed, a RISC processor builds it from a combination of basic instructions. RISC processors are designed to execute these basic instructions extremely quickly. The performance gains achieved by speeding up the most-used instructions more than compensate for the time spent creating less-used instructions. Basics Power Macintosh System Overview - 2 Previously, RISC technology had been used only in high-end workstations and commercial database servers. With the introduction of Macintosh PowerPC computers, Apple succeeded in bringing RISC technology to personal computing. Key Points Three key points to remember about a PowerPC processor- based Macintosh system: It's a Macintosh; it's compatible; it offers tremendous performance. Apple's PowerPC computers feature the same user interface as their 680x0-based predecessors. Users can mix RISC- based and 680x0-based Macintosh systems on the same net- work and exchange files and disks between them. In addition, users can run both 680x0 and native PowerPC applications on the same Power Macintosh system simultaneously.

Powerpc and Power Macintosh L Technical Information
L Technical PowerPC and Information Power Macintosh Recently, both Apple Computer and IBM have introduced products based on the PowerPC™ microprocessor. The PowerPC microprocessor is a result of collaboration between three industry leaders: Apple, IBM, and Motorola. This cooperative project was announced in 1991. The project’s goal was to advance the evolution of the personal computer in five major areas: • PowerPC – Apple, IBM, and Motorola agreed to develop a family of RISC microprocessors. • Interoperability – IBM and Apple agreed to work together to ensure that Macintosh® computers work smoothly with large, networked IBM enterprise systems. This involves products in networking and communication. • PowerOpen® – IBM and Apple agreed to co-develop a new version of the UNIX® operating system that takes advantage of the strengths of the PowerPC microprocessor. • Kaleida – A new company called Kaleida was created to work on new standards for multimedia products. • Taligent – A new company called Taligent was created to develop an object-oriented operating system. While there have been advances in all of these areas, the announcement of the Power Macintosh has focused industry attention on the PowerPC chip. (Note: Microprocessors are often referred to as ‘chips’ or ‘computer chips’.) The PowerPC microprocessor The term PowerPC describes a family of microprocessors that may be used in a variety of computers. Apple Computer has introduced a series of computers based on this microprocessor which they will call Power Macintoshes™. IBM computers that contain the PowerPC microprocessor will be part of the RS6000 series. The RS6000 series is a high-end UNIX product. The Power Macintosh, on the other hand, is intended as a broad- based consumer product.

Gestalt Manager 1
CHAPTER 1 Gestalt Manager 1 This chapter describes how you can use the Gestalt Manager and other system software facilities to investigate the operating environment. You need to know about the 1 operating environment if your application takes advantage of hardware (such as a Gestalt Manager floating-point unit) or software (such as Color QuickDraw) that is not available on all Macintosh computers. You can also use the Gestalt Manager to inform the Operating System that your software is present and to find out about other software registered with the Gestalt Manager. The Gestalt Manager is available in system software versions 6.0.4 and later. The MPW software development system and some other development environments supply code that allows you to use the Gestalt Manager on earlier system software versions; check the documentation provided with your development system. In system software versions earlier than 6.0.4, you can retrieve a limited description of the operating environment with the SysEnvirons function, also described in this chapter. You need to read this chapter if you take advantage of specific hardware or software features that may not be present on all versions of the Macintosh, or if you wish to inform other software that your software is present in the operating environment. This chapter describes how the Gestalt Manager works and then explains how you can ■ determine whether the Gestalt Manager is available ■ call the Gestalt function to investigate the operating environment ■ make information about your own hardware or software available to other applications ■ retrieve a limited description of the operating environment even if the Gestalt Manager is not available About the Gestalt Manager 1 The Macintosh family of computers includes models that use a number of different processors, some accompanied by a floating-point unit (FPU) or memory management unit (MMU).

The Powerpc Macs: Model by Model
Chapter 13 The PowerPC Macs: Model by Model IN THIS CHAPTER: I The PowerPC chip I The specs for every desktop and portable PowerPC model I What the model numbers mean I Mac clones, PPCP, and the future of PowerPC In March 1994, Apple introduced a completely new breed of Mac — the Power Macintosh. After more than a decade of building Macs around the Motorola 68000, 68020, 68030, and 68040 chips, Apple shifted to a much faster, more powerful microprocessor — the PowerPC chip. From the start, Apple made it clear it was deadly serious about getting these Power Macs into the world; the prices on the original models were low, and prices on the second-generation Power Macs dropped lower still. A well- equipped Power Mac 8500, running at 180 MHz, with 32MB of RAM, a 2 GB hard drive, and a eight-speed CD-ROM drive costs about $500 less than the original Mac SE/30! When the Power Macs were first released, Apple promised that all future Mac models would be based on the PowerPC chip. Although that didn’t immediately prove to be the case — the PowerBook 500 series, the PowerBook 190, and the Quadra 630 series were among the 68040-based machines released after the Power Macs — by the fall of 1996, Macs with four-digit model numbers (PowerPC-based Power Macs, LCs, PowerBooks, and Performas) were the only computers still in production. In less than two years, 429 430 Part II: Secrets of the Machine the Power Mac line has grown to over 45 models.
