The PCI based 7200 replaces the NuBus based Power Macintosh 7100. The 7200 shipped with a PowerPC 601 with clock speeds between 75-120MHz.
General Information
Bringing PCI to the entry-level, the Power Macintosh 7200 was introduced in August 1995 and came in the same case as the Power Macintosh 7500. It was available with either a 75 or 90MHz PowerPC 601 processor, and sold for $1,700 for the 75 Mhz and $1,900 for the 90MHz model. The 7200 was "speed bumped" to 120MHz in April 1996. There was also a PC compatible 7200/120 with a Pentium processor card in one of its PCI slots.
Codename: Catalyst. The 7200 was discontinued in February 1997. Originally shipped with system software 7.5.3.
Expansion
The 7200 offers 3 PCI expansion slots.
PC Compatible
Aimed at professional users in business, education and home environments, the Power Macintosh 7200/120 PC Compatible is based on the next-generation Power Macintosh 7200/120 announced has, but comes preconfigured with one of two PC Compatibility Cards. The 7-inch 586 100 MHz version is an affordable, entry-level choice that includes 128K of secondary cache and 8MB RAM, which can be upgraded to 64MB. Industry benchmarks show the speed of the 586 100MHz processor is comparable to that of a Pentium 75Mhz. For customers who want a higher level of performance, a 12-inch Pentium 100Mhz version is another option. It features 256K of secondary cache and 8MB of RAM, which can be upgraded to 72MB. The Power Macintosh 7200/120 PC Compatible also includes 8MB of RAM for the Macintosh operating system.
Both versions incorporate an ATI Mach64 video controller, from ATI Technologies Inc. of Toronto, Canada, for accelerated SVGA compatibility up to 24-bits per pixel. All current Apple displays are supported, in addition to many third-party Macintosh-compatible VGA and SVGA displays. Customers can configure their Power Macintosh 7200/120 PC Compatible with either one or two displays. When configured with a single display, users hit a hot key to toggle between the Mac OS and PC environments; the background environment continues running. When configured with two displays, Power Mac 7200/120 PC Compatible users can keep an eye on both environments concurrently at the full size and resolution supported by the display and video controller. Fans of MS-DOS and Windows games will also enjoy the built-in PC Game Port and 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro support.
The new PC Compatible system is designed to provide enterprise customers in business or education environments with a wide range of available networking options. Users can easily connect to a variety of networks, including Novell Network SPX/IPX, TCP/IP and NETBEUI protocols in Windows and DOS environments via a built-in Ethernet connector and ODI and NDIS 2.0 drivers. Due to robust multi-node support, users of the new Power Mac 7200/120 PC Compatible, with the appropriate network access, can maintain two unique Internet connections simultaneously--from the Mac OS and Windows.
Notes
- Due to age, the plastic components of this case design are very fragile. One common failure is the power button breaking.
