  • 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.

The Spoiled_Apples package includes the libspoiledapples library and the spoiledapples command-line interface to launch the different emulations. OPTIONS At least one of operating system, computer model or the architecture should be passed; otherwise this manual page is shown. BASIC OPTIONS -s version,--system=version emulates the operating system version For680x0 and PowerPC-based computers the version may be passed as numbers in the major[.minor[.re vision]] format. If the version provided is not implemented, then the closest one is chosen. For6502-based computers the format must be prefixed: DOS_major[.minor[.re vision]] or ProDOS_major[.minor[.re vision]]. If the version provided is not implemented, then the closest one is chosen. Some 6502-based computers can receive also a Z80 extension card and run CP/M, which must be prefixed: CPM_major[.minor]. At the moment, only version 2.2 is implemented, but 3.0 may followat some point. ManyMacintosh can alternatively run A/UX (Apple Unix). The format must be prefixed: AUX_major[.minor[.re vision]]. If the version provided is not implemented, then the closest one is chosen. If this parameter is not passed, then the best possible operating system for the selected computer model or architecture is chosen (in terms of offered possibilities versus running speed).
