Subject: Re: Mac PALs
Did Apple ever publish any information on their custom
LSI on the
Power Mac series? IMOHO, that's what makes these machines
essentially throwaway for anything but trivial problems. You've got
these big quad flatpacks with Apple house numbers and no clue
whatsoever what's in them.

Well the clones came about when the PPC line was around, so Apple must have
given the specs for the chips out to Supermac, Radius, etc so they could
build their own board designs..
