Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh

歴史的背景

Although officially produced in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Apple, the 20th Anniversary Mac was released close to a year after the fact. The logic board was similar to that of the PowerMac 5500, and it was based on the same 603e processor, running at 250MHz. The real innovation of the 20th Anniversary Mac was its unique shape, and advanced sound and video features. It came with an integrated TV/FM Radio System, an S-video Input, and a custom sound system designed by Bose, with integrated stereo speakers, and a separate sub-woofer. The TAM was a limited edition, and sold for nearly $10,000 U.S. Its price was cut to as low as $1,999 U.S. in March 1998.
