  • 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).

  • From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model
    Chapter 12 From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model IN THIS CHAPTER: I What the specs mean I The specs for every Mac model ever made I Secrets of the pre-PowerPC Mac models I Just how much your Mac has devalued Yes, we’ve already been told that we’re nuts to attempt the next two chapters of this book. Since 1984, Apple has created more than 140 different Mac models — including 35 different PowerBooks and 53 different Performas! Each year, Apple piles on another dozen or so new models. By the time you finish reading this page, another Performa model probably will have been born. So, writing a couple of chapters that are supposed to describe every model is an exercise in futility. But we’re going to attempt it anyway, taking the models one by one and tracking their speeds, specs, and life cycles. This chapter will cover all the Apple Macs — both desktop and portable models — from the birth of the original Macintosh 128K to the release of the PowerBook 190, the last Mac ever made that was based on Motorola’s 68000-series processor chip. When you’re finished reading this chapter, you will be one of the few people on Earth who actually knows the difference between a Performa 550, 560, 575, 577, 578, 580, and 588. 375 376 Part II: Secrets of the Machine Chapter 13 will cover every Power Mac — or, more accurately, every PowerPC-based machine (those with four-digit model numbers) — from the first ones released in 1994 to the models released just minutes before this book was printed.

  • GW4404A and GW4405A 68-Pin VRAM SIMM
    Garrett’s Workshop GW4404A / GW4405A 256 kB / 512 kB 68-pin VRAM SIMM for Macintosh User’s Guide GW4404A and GW4405A were designed by Zane Kaminski and Garrett Fellers Overview GW4404A and GW4405A are 68-pin VRAM SIMMs which provide Apple Macintosh computers with 256 kB or 512 kB of VRAM, respectively. High-Quality PCB GW4404A and GW4405A are built with an ENIG gold-plated, 4-layer PCB, and only new parts are used to build the VRAM SIMMs. All units are tested extensively before shipment, and all SIMMs conform to 80 ns timing or better, ensuring compatibility with all Macintosh models which support 68-pin VRAM SIMMs. Excellent Signal Integrity GW4404A and GW4405A feature solid power and ground planes. Particular attention was paid to signal integrity, ensuring reliable performance on the fastest machines. The address bus traces are run as asymmetric striplines shielded inside the SIMM PCB, reducing interference generated by large VRAM SIMM arrays such as on the Quadra 700. Ample separation is provided between the DQ and SDQ buses routed on the front-side of the board. Particular attention was paid to the edge-sensitive RAS, CAS, and SCLK signals. These are optimized for minimum length, with large spacing between these edge-sensitive signals and all other signals and buses. Open-Source Design GW4404A and GW4405A’s designs are fully open-source. The schematics and board layouts are all freely available for commercial and noncommercial use. To download the design files, visit the Garrett's Workshop GitHub page: https://github.com/garrettsworkshop Physical Dimensions Parameter Value Height 20.32 mm ± 0.2 mm Width 102.87 mm ± 0.2 mm Thickness < 8 mm Weight < 28 g Compatibility All possible VRAM configurations are listed below by machine.

  • Introduction Definition
    HW 33 - Composite SIMMs Not Supported Page: 1 NOTE: This Technical Note has been retired. Please see the Technical Notes page for current documentation. CONTENTS This Technical Note discusses composite SIMMs and why they shouldn't be used on Introduction Macintosh computers. Definition [Jan 01 1993] Problems May Work Under Some Conditions, But... Conclusion References Downloadables Introduction It is possible to create a large memory SIMM by using banks of many smaller DRAM chips along with additional circuitry to fool the Macintosh memory controller circuitry. Such a SIMM is called a composite SIMM. The problem is that composite SIMMs can cause random memory failures due to higher electrical currents, a higher amount of system noise, and the added timing overhead (delay) caused by the additional circuitry. The memory timing on Macintosh CPUs is often carefully adjusted to get the maximum performance from the DRAMs. There is little or no margin for extra loads on the address and control lines. There are a number of issues with composite SIMMs, including increased loading on all lines (including the data bus), timing specification violations, and possible physical problems. Apple has identified a couple of problems with using composite SIMMs on selected Macintosh computer models. Due to the nature of these problems, Apple does not recommend the use of composite SIMMs in any Macintosh computer. Back to top Definition A composite SIMM is defined as a SIMM made up of banks of many smaller DRAM devices, with additional bank-controlling circuitry and perhaps buffers for the address and control signals. A noncomposite SIMM, on the other hand, is organized as a single bank of devices.

  • Introduction Gestalt
    Gestalt & _SysEnvirons - A Never-Ending Story Page: 1 CONTENTS This Technical Note discusses the latest changes and improvements to the _Gestalt Introduction and _SysEnvirons calls. _Gestalt [Sep 01 1994] Additional Gestalt Response Values gestaltHardwareAttr Selector SysEnvirons Calling _SysEnvirons From a High-Level Language Additional _SysEnvirons Constants References Change History Downloadables Introduction Previous versions of this Note provided the latest documentation on new information the _SysEnvirons trap could return. Developer Support Center (DSC) will continue to revise this Note to provide this information; however, as the _Gestalt trap is now the preferred method for determining information about a machine environment, this Note will also provide up-to-date information on _Gestalt selectors. Back to top _Gestalt This Note now documents _Gestalt selectors and return values added since the release of Inside Macintosh Volume VI. Please note that this is supplemental information; for the complete description of _Gestalt and its use, please refer to Inside Macintosh Volume VI. The Macintosh LC II is identical to the Macintosh LC except for the presence of an MC68030 processor, so under System 7.0.1 it returns the same gestaltMachineType response as the Macintosh LC (that is, 19). However, under System 7.1 and later, the LC II responds to a gestaltMachineType selector with the value 37. Thus, there are two cases when you are on an LC II: under System 7.0.1, you will get a gestaltMachineType response of gestaltMacLC (19), but gestaltProcessorType will return gestalt68030; under future system software, gestaltMachineType will return gestaltMacLCII (37). The processor will, of course, still be a 68030.
