This article provides a description of the Macintosh Performa 6200 series computers.

The following computers are in the Macintosh Performa 6200 series: Performa 6200, Performa 6216, Performa 6218, Performa 6220, and Performa 6230.

Overview

The Apple Macintosh Performa 6200CD computer brings multimedia to life in a modular system that is easy to set up. 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 color display, a keyboard, and a mouse. In addition, the Performa 6200CD comes with a variety of home, education, and home-business programs, plus CD multimedia titlesÐjust a sampling of the thousands of Macintosh applications the computer can run. Like all Macintosh computers, the Performa 6200CD is very easy to set up, learn, and use.

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 internal 14.4 Kbps fax send/receive modem also functions as a speakerphone and digital answering machine. An audio-input port lets you record your own sounds. And AppleTalk networking gives you easy access to printers, electronic-mail servers, and file servers.

Every Performa 6200CD system also offers advanced multimedia expansion options. With a video-in card, you can connect to an external video source such as a VCR or cam-corder to capture video images and use them in your Macintosh applications. A video-out interface box lets you connect the computer to a large-screen TV for presentations. The optional internal TV tuner shows television channels in a window on your computer's display. An MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) provides full-motion, VHS quality playback from CD-ROM drives.

The Macintosh Performa 6200CD computer, with its wealth of ready-to-use features and software, adds up to an expandable, flexible multimedia system.
