Power Macintosh 8200

The Power Macintosh 8200 was introduced on April 22, 1996 in Europe and Asia, but not in North America. It was superseded by the Power Macintosh 8500/180.

Features
The Power Macintosh 8200 is a tower version of the Power Macintosh 7200 desktop, with a logic board based on the same PCI-based "Catalyst" architecture. The tower case is similar to that of the NuBus-based Power Macintosh 8100.

The only known company to produce a PowerPC G3 or G4 upgrade for the 7200 and 8200 was Sonnet Technologies, with a PCI card featuring its own RAM slots for the upgrade processor in a manner similar to the Radius Rocket. The L2 cache slot in the 8200 does not provide full access to the existing processor and cannot be used for upgrades.
