Macintosh TV
The Macintosh TV (or Mac TV ), which appeared in October 1993 , was Apple's first attempt to connect the television and computer worlds. He had the look of a Macintosh LC 520 , but in black, had a cable TV - Tuner and was with a remote control supplied, which was also compatible with TVs from Sony. With the device, however, it was not possible to work on the Macintosh and receive a TV signal at the same time. You could only switch back and forth between TV reception and Macintosh use on the 14 "Sony Trinitron tube.
The device was based on a Motorola 68030 processor with 32 MHz and had 4 MB RAM , which could be expanded up to 8 MB. The hard drive was 160 MB. Was supplied System 7.1
The Macintosh TV was priced at $ 2,097 and was available for sale in only 250 stores. After 10,000 pieces, production was stopped after just 5 months in February 1994.
