Historical Summary

Note that the information presented in this section was retrieved from my old personal website, The VAX Pirate's Lair, and is not likely to be entirely accurate or timely. Spelling errors have been kept intact for the purposes of historical preservation.

This was my first Mac. A Performa 475, this machine is identical to the LC 475 in form factor and system board, although it has a clock-doubled version of the MC68LC040 running at 50MHz internally and 25MHz externally. Fun to play games on and simply t o enjoy legacy system software (7.5.5)
