Macintosh Performa 6116CD

The Macintosh Performa 6116CD brings together the performance of Power PC technology with world class ease-of-set up and use and price/performance in a complete system. It is targeted at families and individuals looking for a complete high performance multimedia computer system. All systems include the CPU, monitor, fax modem, Apple Design Keyboard and Mouse as well as leading 3rd party software applications.

In addition, the Macintosh Performa 6116CD with PowerPC Technology is bundled with 18 software applications to take advantage of Power Macintosh capabilities of two to six times the speed of previous Macintosh computers based on the 040 chip. It also supports MS-DOS and Windows applications when using SoftWindows software or when using an optional DOS Compatibility card.

Based on the 60-megahertz PowerPC 601 microprocessor co-developed by Apple, IBM, and Motorola, the Macintosh Performa 6116CD has built-in, floating-point math coprocessors and comes with a 700MB hard disk with 8 megabytes of RAM, expandable to up to 72 megabytes in addition to a built in CD-ROM. It also provides on-board high-speed Ethernet support.

This affordable computer includes an Apple 14” diagonal high-resolution color display along with a 14.4k-bps data and electronic fax modem, as well as speech-recognition, and text-to-speech capabilities that are built into the computer. With an AV expansion kit the Macintosh Performa 6116CD can add the functionality of S-video and composite video input as well as output for use with televisions, video cameras, and video recorders.

The eWorld on-line service option has been replaced by America Online. 6116CD customers can open the bundled eWorld application and connect via the modem to a server where they can download or order the America Online software.

The Macintosh Performa 6116CD provides an affordable gateway to Power PC technology and the future of personal computing.
