Apple 8100/80AV Personal Computer User Manual


 
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Macintosh. Your computer is
designed to give you the highest performance combined with real ease of
use—it’s easy to set up, easy to use, and easy to expand. This manual will
guide you through the setup procedure, tell you how to expand your
Macintosh, and provide many tips on using your new system.
Your Macintosh is powered by the new microprocessor (or “chip”).
This microprocessor was designed by Apple Computer, Inc., Motorola, Inc.,
and IBM Corporation. The microprocessor uses Reduced
Instruction Set (RISC) technology to deliver very high performance at the
lowest possible cost. The RISC microprocessor represents the state
of the art in microprocessor design.
Your new Macintosh will run almost all your existing Macintosh software,
but for best performance and greatest speed, look for the new software
programs designed especially for Power Macintosh computers. You’ll find
Power Macintosh programs at any software store that carries products for
Macintosh.
