Quadra 650 mac vga adapter6/26/2023 ![]() The Quadra 605 was the easiest Macintosh to ever repair. Everything clips in or out all the way from the speaker & floppy drive, to the motherboard & power supply. The best feature however – no screws on the inside. The entire top unclips in seconds, and inside every component is laid out in a plane – nothing is above or underneath anything else, there’s no remove-the-HD-before-the-motherboard-comes-out nonsense. You won’t find a reset, or programmer’s key on this Macintosh.Įxactly what you need, and nothing you don’t. On the far right is the Quadra 605’s only expansion slot, the PDS. On the back you will find a rocker power switch, power connection, and the 605’s seven ports all lined up in a row. The Quadra 605 was a minimal Mac before its time. No plastic cover concealing a vacant drive bay. There is a slot for the floppy drive, a paperclip ejection hole, and that’s it. On the machine’s face you will find the classic rainbow Apple logo, the word Macintosh, and the Quadra 605 name badge. The coolest thing about the Quadra 605 was its minimal design. Unlike the Cube, it was available for a low-price almost anyone could afford.Īt $900 USD, the 605 was the Quadra for the rest of us. Like the Cube it came in a low-profile case that was never used again on any Mac. A miniature 32-bit workstation, with limited expandability but powerful specs. ![]() The Quadra 605 was the Power Macintosh Cube of the Quadra line.
