Macintosh Quadra 800
Towers1993Uncommon
The Quadra 800 brought the 68040 to a full tower with three NuBus slots, built-in Ethernet and video, and the fastest SCSI implementation Apple had offered to date. It was the preferred workstation for video production and high-end desktop publishing throughout 1993 — a reliable, powerful, and upgradeable machine at a time when those qualities were not guaranteed.
