Macintosh Performa 6110

The Macintosh Performa 6110, introduced on November 1, 1994, was Apple Computer's first Performa to use the new PowerPC RISC processor created by IBM and Motorola. It superseded the Macintosh Quadra 610 and 660AV that were previously based on Motorola's 68040 processor.
==Features==
The Performa 6110 came in the same low-profile "pizza box" case as the Centris 610 and Quadra 610, but with a 60 MHz PowerPC 601 processor.
