Apple Spec Database files contain detailed technical specifications on a variety of Apple computers, displays, and printers introduced since 1984. These specifications include information about memory configurations, power requirements, video capabilities, built-in ports, software, sound capabilities, and logic board components.
The database was originally designed for those who had a regular need for this kind of information, such as sales and support professionals. It also became an easy way for others to learn more about some of the products Apple has introduced over the years. The information is delivered in a cross-referenced database format for easy search and retrieval. It will look best when viewed on a monitor set to 16 or more colors.
Apple Spec Database was created in FileMaker Pro 3.0. To use the database:
Step 1
Open the self-extracting archive which contains the Apple Spec Database files to decompress them. The self-extracting archive will have a name similar to "Apple Spec 5/97.sea".
Step 2
Open the file named "Apple Spec" using FileMaker Pro 3.0. If you do not have FileMaker Pro 3.0, you can use the Apple Spec Database "runtime" application (available from the same locations as the database files).
