-
- You don't need to afford MacWEEK. You just might be eligible for a
- free subscription.
-
- >Is there a price range set yet or any speculations out there?
-
- MW says the pricing on the Perfoma series will be in the $1000 -
- $3000+ range. This should probably map over to the IIvi and IIvx.
-
- >Will apple be dicontinuing some of their models like the IIsi?
-
- Everything I have heard says the IIvi and IIvx are the replacement
- for the IIsi and IIci.
-
- >How many slots (NUBUS or processor direct) are in these machines?
-
- The article says 3 NuBus and 1 PDS, probably arranged like the
- Quadra 700.
-
- >How much memory will they be shipped with?
-
- The latest word from Apple is that all CPU's will be shipped with a
- minumum of 4MB.
-
- >How do they fit into apple's lineup, performance wise?
-
- IIvi - 16MHz '030
- IIvx - 33MHz '030 w/ cache card and FPU
-
- >Will apple keep the sound-input idea?
-
- Why on earth would they not?
-
- >What type and how many expansion ports will they have (ADB,SCSI, etc.)
-
- The article didn't say, but it will probably be either the layout of
- the IIsi or the layout of the Q700 (without the ethernet of course ;)
-
- >Will the CD Rom drive be in addition to a Hard Drive and floppy?
-
- According to the article it will.
-
- >What size of Hard drive will be available?
-
- Oh, probably the current standard of 80, 230, 400 just like it is
- for everything else above the IIsi in the current lineup.
-
- >Just a bunch of questions from a poor college student
-
- Understandable, but you did ask a number of questions that would
- seem to be known to anyone who ever looked at an Apple price list.
