An ill-fated CD-based gaming machine developed by Apple, which ran the Pippin OS, a scaled down version of the Mac OS, allowing the Pippin to run Macintosh games, and vice-versa. Apple didn't actually manufacture the system, rather it liscenced the specs and the operating system, which was required for each game disc.
Some specs:
- 66 MHz 603 PowerPC RISC chip
- 4X CD-ROM drive
- 6MB total RAM (4MB available to apps)
- control pad with track-ball
- 2 ADB ports
- serial port
- Video out to 640x480 VGA at millions of colors, NTSC, PAL, S-Video
Some models also included a 28.8K
modem and the
Mosaic web browser for
Internet access.
