==Features==
The Performa 250 was a compact Mac with a built-in 10" display from Sony. It contained 256 KB of VRAM that could support up to 8-bit color at a resolution of 512 x 384 pixels; upgrading the VRAM to 512 KB would allow it to support up to 16-bit color. The logic board was comparable to (though not interchangable with) a Macintosh LC II with a 16 MHz 68030 processor and a 16-bit LC PDS slot. Two 30-pin slots allowed RAM to be upgraded from the base 4 MB soldered onto the motherboard. SIMMs need to be installed in matching pairs, with a maximum of 10MB that can be recognized due to limitations of the logic board. Hard drives were connected through a SCSI bus. The built-in floppy drive supported 1.44 MB high-density disks.Compacts: Mac Colour Classic / Mac Performa 250 by TheNeil, Macmania and Retro Museum. 2016-10-02.
