Apple Power Macintosh
6100/66 DOS
The Apple Power Macintosh 6100/66 DOS is a first generation PowerMac and was presented in 1994. In early 1995, the model was speeded up slightly from original 60MHz to 66MHz. The DOS Compatibility Card is inserted in the Nubus-slot and allows to run M$ OSses, if really needed.

(*) according to a web source, the 6100 has no dedicated VRAM, but uses up to 635kB of real RAM as video memory. I'm not quite sure about that?!
