Power Macintosh 6400
In September 2009 I started to downsize this collection to a few items and then archived this section to its own subdomain at the start of October 2011. Remaining items sold off in mid 2024.
This system
Only a week after picking up a PowerMac G3 and wishing
I could add a tower based model to my collection I purchased this Performa
6400/200.
A while later I ordered a collection of apple parts from the US which
included a zip drive and the corresponding front bezel and mounting tray.
