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. -

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. -

IM: D: SCSI Manager
CHAPTER 4 SCSI Manager 4.3 4 SCSI Manager 4.3 is an enhanced version of the SCSI Manager that provides new features as well as compatibility with the original version. SCSI Manager 4.3 is contained in the ROM of high-performance computers such as the Macintosh Quadra 840AV and the Power Macintosh 8100/80. Beginning with system software version 7.5, SCSI Manager 4.3 is also available as a system extension that can be installed in any Macintosh computer that uses the NCR 53C96 SCSI controller chip. In addition to the capabilities of the original SCSI Manager, SCSI Manager 4.3 provides ■ support for asynchronous SCSI I/O ■ support for optional SCSI features such as disconnect/reconnect ■ a hardware-independent programming interface that minimizes the SCSI-specific tasks a device driver must perform You should read this chapter if you are writing a SCSI device driver or other software for Macintosh computers that use SCSI Manager 4.3. To make best use of this chapter, you should understand the Device Manager and the implementation of device drivers in Macintosh computers. If you are designing a SCSI peripheral device for the Macintosh, you should read Designing Cards and Drivers for the Macintosh Family, third edition, and Guide to the Macintosh Family Hardware, second edition. This chapter assumes you are familiar with the following SCSI specifications established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI): 4 ■ X3.131-1986, Small Computer System Interface ■ X3.131-1994, Small Computer System Interface–2 SCSI Manager 4.3 ■ X3.232 (draft), SCSI-2 Common Access Method If you are writing a device driver for a block-structured storage device such as hard disk, you should also read the chapter “SCSI Manager” in this book for information about the structure of block devices used by the Macintosh Operating System. -

Stephen's Computers
A BRI EF HI STORY OF A sampling of the computer systems that have formed the backdrop to my STEPHEN'S technological life. COMPUTERS 1981 Apple ][ First real encounter with a personal computer - maths class at school and it had a paper card reader! 1983 Texas Instruments TI99/4a First home computer. No software was available in NZ so we learnt to programme 1986 IBM PC XT The transition from mainframe programming (FORTRAN) to the PCs (Turbo Pascal) at university 1987 VAX 11/780 BSD 4.3 UNIX system where I learnt to programme in C, PROLOG, LISP, COBOL and SNOBOL. First Internet, Ingres database and USENET experiences 1988 Apple Macintosh Plus After playing with one of the first Apple Macintosh computers in NZ back in 1984, I purchased a Macintosh Plus. First in series of Apple computers that included an LC, IIsi, PowerBook 520, PowerMac 6100, G3 & G4 iBooks, Mac Mini and a couple of MacBook Pros. 1991 AT&T 3B2 UNIX Sys V and Oracle database. Character-building for someone raised on BSD. Luckily I'd kept my Kernighan & Pike textbook 1996 Apple Powerbook 520c Passive-matrix screen, but with ethernet and one of the first trackpads. Nice to write on, but no good for games. 1997 Packard-Bell Windows 95 PC Everything a PC shouldn't be. Crippled in so many ways. Mistakes were made; lessons learned. 1999 Apple Powerbook 150 Bought second-hand. With MS Word 5 probably best PC I've had for just writing text. Very sad when it broke and couldn't be fixed 2001 IBM ThinkPad 380XD Replacement for the PB150.
