Can't get on the net unless you grease and beat it.
Doesn't do more than 256 colors, 64MB limit, and it's
slooow if it's doing anything but going out a
window.

They're sort of a mutated Quadra with a built in
PowerMac upgrade, but not as good.

P.S. Someone once mentioned to me that he used to
work closely with Sonnet back when he worked a lot
on shareware for the Mac. He still had a prprotype
603 or 604 upgrade from Sonnet in a Quadra. I only
know his IRC /nick. sad|st Can usually be found
on Undernet in #userfriendly and/or #macintosh

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Performa 6214 was the equivelant
of a PowerMac 6100/60... As I remember it was in no way related to the
5200/6200 series.

I'll correct myself. :-) I'm thinking of the Performa 6114, not the 6214. My
apologies.

I've got an old 6200 and they are slow.  I put 48mb of ram in it and it
helped alittle but not much.  External 56k modem didn't help much either.
Been thinking about using it for a continious running slide show.  The kids
still use it for some of the Sim games.

As slow as they are, and as painful to deal with when used to other 
macs, the first mac I used regularly was my sister's 6300 - I put 32Mb 
extra in it for 48Mb, and it's 1Gb  drive was enough at the time. My 
sister worked as a graphic designer at the time and had photoshop, 
illustrator and xPress on it - as a transition from old-style computer 
user to a mac addict, it worked for me! The machine is having software 
problems at the moment with crashes galore on my niece (who uses it now) 
and will be coming back to me for a fixing - I'm sure I'll notice the 
speed problems in time, but it certainly worked - even if nowhere near 
the potential of it's components!

Be well :D
