Hardware Description

In May 1996, the 6200 series was upgraded to use the new PowerPC 603e CPU. The rest of the logic board remained unchanged, retaining the same problems and inconsistencies as the earlier models. Two 120 MHz models were introduced in April 1996, again without any change to the underlying architecture. The computer also played the scary three-note bass fanfare death chime which scared many people.
