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 It was superseded by the Power Macintosh 8500.

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.
