- from what I have heard
- system 7.10P = 6.08J
- which is to say, that the system for the Performas is an improved
- version of system 6.07, with some nifty sys7 like features.
-
- There are 2 monitors for the Performa, the standard and the 'plus'
- neither are as good as the AppleColor RGB monitor (the regular 13"
- monitor) though both are cheaper. As I recall the lesser one is
- really lame, with a dot pitch I wouldn't accept on anything, while the
- better one has the same dot pitch that the RGB has, but isn't a
- Trinitron picture tube.
-
- As for the models themselves, as noted the 200 and 400 are really the
- classic II and the LC II in disguise, while the 600 is an 030/32 with
- or without a cd player, but no built in cache and no math coprocessor
- - so basically a CI is both faster and better. The 600 can accept a
- cache card, but they aren't out yet, but the performa can't accept a
- PD upgrade like the rest of the II's can (si?). The VI and VX will be
- more like the CI in this respect, but wont' be able to run earlier
- systems, and do have some other incompatibilities.
