Hardware Description

Apple completed the LC line with what could have been called the LC IV. As with its ancestors, the Quadra 605 was designed to be inexpensive. It shares many components with previous LC models, although it uses a new (equally compact) case. To reduce cost and power use, Apple used the 68LC040 CPU, making this the first Quadra selling for under $1,000. For compatibility, it retained the LC expansion slot.The Performa 475 and 476 differed in the size of the hard drive that shipped with them; the 475 had a 160 MB drive, while the 476 has a 230 MB one. The Quadra 605 has a different Gestalt ID than the other models.
