I got this Quadra 700 locally in June 2005. These are notes I took about the machine.
- 69MB RAM, 350MB HD
- CPU cooler installed on the processor
- Two missing port covers indicates it used to have Nubus cards as well.
- Macintosh Color Display also included, but very brown, mostly due to a previous chain-smoking owner (probably deceased). Removed the back cover to find the interior coated with black tar from cigarette smoke. Also the screen is burned-in severely with Solitaire. Lifestyles of the Rich&Famous! I balanced the monitor on a pile of foam blocks, but it fell, cracking the bezel. JUNK! Kept the Apple logo only.
- Came with a single Stylewriter 2400 disk. Thanks for that.
1. Sunburned unevenly across front. Smoking was much of the cause of yellowing here
2. Interior is smoke stained but clean otherwise. Obviously a 'hand-me-down' machine
3. Pulled the 040 CPU and put it in my Centris 660AV, which came without a CPU. Success!
