 Macintosh Performa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Performa series of computers was not in actuality a new line of computers per se but simply renamed models from their regular line of computers sold in computer stores, such as Quadra, Centris, LC, Power Mac, and so on.
Performa software bundles usually included ClarisWorks, educational software, and some games, pre-installed over a slightly customized version of the Mac System software, denoted by a 'P' in the version number (e.g.
The Performa versions of the System software introduced some useful features that were later rolled to the mainstream release, most notably the Launcher.

 Apple Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Macintosh is regarded as being the first personal computer to popularize the use of the graphical user interface at a time when most computers used an operating system with a command line interface.
Macintosh computers originally used Mac OS as the operating system.
Today, the Macintosh is the only family of computers available from Apple, and ranges from the "budget" desktop computer Mac mini to the midrange Xserve server.

 The Macintosh Performa 6400/200: Solidity, Versatility and Economy
The Performas have emerged as the most sensible choice for home computers, as they come with bundles of useful software and adequate power for most home and home office computing activities.
When it comes down to it, most Performa buyers probably do not care whether the computer uses a 603e chip, a 604e chip or a potato chip, as long as it does the job and is not going to be obsolete six weeks after the machine is bought.
All Performa systems come loaded with an impressive array of useful and not so useful software.

 UO Microcomputer Services - Issues With The Macintosh Performa
In all cases the issue has been with the way the Performa 6400 is configured at the factory and the manner in which the Performa System Software installer works.
A big caveat with this procedre is that you cannot re-install the pre-installed software packages in the future if you experience problems since the Performa software installers overwrite any current configuration you may have.
We believe that the Power Macintosh 6500 series with the Education or Small Business software bundles should work fine in the UO environment.

 Apple Mac Performa 460 User's Log
The Performa had come with its system software pre installed on disk, and I'd helped the user backup the entire hard disk with Apple's bundled backup software onto some 20 floppies at the time; so there was no handy system installer to do what the APS inspired dialog demanded.
For example, on this particular Performa there's about a half dozen people use it, and so it was necessary to show these folks where their files had been moved to.
In Macs like the Performa 630, the FPU is part of the CPU itself; so on that Mac adding an FPU means switching out the 68LC040 for a 68040 chip.

 comp.sys.mac.comm FAQ (v 2.4.1) Feb 15 2003
Usually, one won't find Macintosh files in uuencode format; however, most non-Macintosh specific binary data posted to Usenet is uuencoded, so if you wish to use any of this data (such as the images posted in alt.binaries.* and elsewhere), you will need to deal with uuencode.
Text files and GIF image files are examples of Macintosh files that are usually stored completely in the data fork, and have an empty (or nonexistent) resource fork.
Since all current mac specific formats store the original Macintosh filename changing the same of the archvie file does not change the files inside it.

Respondent shall arrange for that dealer to transfer from the consumer's Performa 550, Macintosh LC 550, or Performa 560 to the equivalent product: (1) all programs and data from the hard drive; and (2) any peripherals or memory with which the consumer had upgraded their original system.

Macintosh LC/Performa 500 series computers (except the Macintosh LC 580 and Performa 580)
Given the fact that an entire Apple IIe computer along with disk drives and a monitor could be assembled for less than $100, using a card to supplant a real Apple IIe is just not as compelling as it used to be.
The card helped to wing schools from their dependence on their antiquated Apple II computers while still having access to their once expensive and still valuable Apple II software.
