Macintosh Performa 6220CD

The Apple Macintosh Performa 6220CD computer brings multimedia to life in a modular system that’s easy to set up. And with its PowerPC processor technology, it offers high performance now, yet can grow with your multimedia and general computing needs for years to come.

Packed in one box are the computer (with Apple’s System 7.5 operating software already loaded), a keyboard, and a mouse. In addition, the Performa 6220CD comes with a variety of home, education, and home-business programs, plus CD multimedia titles —just a sampling of the thousands of Macintosh applications the computer can run.

This affordable system includes features that are expensive add-ons with other computers. A quadruple-speed CD-ROM drive accesses CD-based data quickly. Stereo 16-bit sound provides high-quality playback from audio CDs. An audio-input port lets you record your own sounds. An internal 14.4-kilobits-per-second data and electronic fax modem with full-duplex speakerphone and digital answering machine allows you to communicate in new ways. And, AppleTalk networking gives you easy access to printers, electronic-mail servers, and file servers.

The Performa 6220CD has a built-in video/TV system that offers new ways to interact with information. You can connect to an external video source, such as a VCR or camcorder, to capture video images and use them in your Macintosh applications. You can also connect your computer to a large-screen TV for viewing presentations.

The eWorld on-line service option has been replaced by America Online. 6220CD customers can open the bundled eWorld application and connect via the modem to a server where they can download or order the America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.
