Trivia

• The Macintosh Quadra 605, launched in 1993, was the most affordable Quadra model ever made, sold for just 900 dollars in a new compact case. • Equipped with a 68LC040 processor at 25 MHz, the 605 represented a low-power solution designed to reduce costs without excessive compromises on performance. • Apple marketed the same computer under three different names: LC 475, Performas 475 and 476, varying the bundles with fax modems, monitors and hard drives to reach different market segments.
