History

The last of the Quadra line, the Quadra 630 was introduced in June 1994. The 630 was a hybrid between a Quadra and an LC in an elegant new case. It featured an internal IDE hard drive (the 630 was the first Mac to use the IDE bus) and an optional CD-ROM drive. It was sold for $1,200 and was also marketed as the LC 630 and Performa 630, 630CD, 631CD, 635CD, 636, 636CD, 637CD, 638CD and 640CD, each of which came bundled with different software, accessories, monitors and hard drives (some Performa models featured a 68LC040, and several were also available with DOS cards based on x86 architecture).
