- From the Read Me included with the Apple Spec Database:
-
- 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.
