Windows on a Mac: This isn't the first time
Before we all
get completely flabbergasted by Apple's efforts to allow users to run Windows on their Macs, let's respect our elders,
shall we? This isn't the first time Apple has supplied Mac owners with an official solution for running Windows. The DOS Compatibility Card was released for the Powermac
6100 series way back in 1995. It actually shipped with an installable version of Windows (3.1) and MS-DOS 6.22. They
featured a i80486 processor that cooked along at an astounding 33MHz.We are standing on the shoulders of DOS compatibility cards.
Thanks to Jotefa for the great image.
