\chapter{Overview}
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{%
|
|
In knowing how to maintain any system, it is critical to know what the expected %
|
|
behaviour of that system is. Hence, this section of the book contains data on the %
|
|
stock configuration of all Old World Macintosh models (Performa-branded %
|
|
Macintoshes are not covered due to their being variations on a base model, %
|
|
a full listing will be present.) %
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{%
|
|
This database is chiefly divided into two segments, for ease of navigation. The %
|
|
first, ``68k Macintoshes'', covers Macintoshes making use of the Motorola 68000 %
|
|
series microprocessors. These are identified by a lack of \textsl{\textbf{\textrm{PowerPC}}} %
|
|
branding on the case of the machine. The second segment, ``PowerPC Macintoshes'', %
|
|
covers Power Macintoshes and PowerBooks bearing the \textsl{\textbf{\textrm{PowerPC}}} logo; %
|
|
these machines make use of a high-performance RISC CPU series principally designed by IBM. %
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{%
|
|
The data in the following pages is definitive, verified against multiple sources, including %
|
|
(where possible) the author's own collection. For machines not in the author's collection, %
|
|
data is provided based on at least two sources, three if possible, in order to minimise the %
|
|
risk of false information. The only disputable data is what constitutes the ``Optimal'' %
|
|
System Software version for a given Macintosh; this is based on the author's own %
|
|
experience and is entirely arbitrary. Caveat lector, your mileage may vary. %
