A Power Mac 9700

Seen on eBay (again), a Power Mac 9700. This Mac model, intended to succeed the Power Mac 9600, either utilized a PowerPC G3 CPU or two PowerPC 604e CPUs and integrated six PCI expansion slots. The machine never made it to market, being replaced by the first Power Mac G3. I had previously discussed this model, whose release was canceled around the time of Steve Jobs’ return to Apple.

I had already mentioned this, and Henry Plain has acquired one: the Power Mac 9700. It’s a high-end tower that was never released but appears to have been produced in significant numbers before a rather abrupt halt.

J’en avais déjà parlé, et Henry Plain en a récupéré un : le Power Mac 9700. C’est une tour haut de gamme jamais sortie, mais visiblement produite en grand nombre, l’arrêt aurait été assez brutal.

Connaissez-vous le PowerExpress, alias Power Macintosh 9700 ? Cette machine devait être la versions « haut de gamme » du Power Mac G3, avec notamment six emplacements PCI, alors que les Power Mac G3 n’en ont que trois.
