TOPIC



    This article describes the Macintosh IIvx (Performa 600) expansion
    possibilities.

DISCUSSION


    The Macintosh IIvx features three NuBus expansion slots and one accelerator
    card slot. The power budget for each NuBus slot is 13.9 watts (same as the
    Macintosh IIci) for a total of 41.7 watts.

    The power budget for the accelerator card slot is 5 watts (same as the
    Macintosh IIci cache budget). Accelerator cards must conform to a 3 by 6
    inch form factor (identical to the Macintosh IIci cache card form factor).

    There are no openings on the back of the Macintosh IIvx enclosure to
    support external connections to the accelerator card. The accelerator
    connector signals are a subset of those provided by the Macintosh IIci
    cache connector. Processor address, data, and some control signals are
    provided. Cache control signals are NOT provided. Some third-party cards
    that work in the Macintosh IIci will work on the Macintosh IIvx, but the
    IIci cache card will not.

    Macintosh IIvx does not have on-board Ethernet, but it can be added via the
    three NuBus expansion slots.
