Where is the PowerPC label? Is it printed on the case underneath the floppy drive (like it is on the 6100), or a sticker put somewhere else? Maybe the machine once had a PPC upgrade installed and the sticker was put on.

I’ve seen pictures of some Centris 660AVs that had the auto-inject floppy, but I assumed that by the Quadras they were all manual-inject. My family had a Quadra 660AV bought in early ’94, it had a manual-inject floppy drive and caddy CD-ROM drive.
