Entry 6th December 2018: Post 01: Power Macintosh 6100/60


Power Macintosh 6100/60

This computer is a Power Macintosh 6100 and is the first computer
from Apple to use the PowerPC created by IBM and Motorola. It dates
from March 94-96 and I understand is a low end entry model.

It has a CD thingy on the front along with a floppy whatsit. You can
open the case up very easily by lifting the back flaps. Inside is
like electronic circuitry and a hard disc by the looks of it. That
would be the large grey thing up the front. One of the chip things
has a basket hat on so I am guessing that is important. Anyway that
was the technical stuff.

The computer works cus it makes this silly noise when you switch on.
Sadly The people at MacApple couldn't afford proper monitors to
connect into so I can't use any of the MacApples cus I don't have
a suitable monitor. The computer has a faulty mouse that has only
one button which must be a manufacturing fault. It also doesn't
have a Windows key on the keyboard, so don't know how that works.

It's kinda small and rectangular and beige in colour. The front
fascia comes off like as with the Amiga 1000 but really only
shows the back face of the CD thingy.

Supposed to be quite a slow machine in its day. Can't comment as
I never used one of them. I am not a great supporter of the Mac
given that I had them rammed down my throat in my time at a certain
practice. Thing about Mac people is their preoccupation to keep
going on about how brilliant their computer is even though you
didn't actually ask a question yourself. Like, did you watch
the footy last night. Reply. No I was on the Mac. Which, by the way
is the computer god used to create the world. Interesting, not.

I do like Steve Wozniak. If he had been at Commodore I bet he
could have made some brilliant calculators.

Anyway here is the tech spec....
