Here is how I distinguish it. PPC 601 processor AND Nubus based expansion slot The reason I do so, is because there are plenty of other Macs that include a 601 but have PCI slots (7200) or a 603 with Nubus (Performa 62xx). The first generation PPC processor itself was a 601, but since the 7200 included PCI, I don't think of it as 1st gen... > Didn't the model numbers drop back down to the 6000X > and 7000x range . . .

Possibly a AWS in a Q950 case with PPC, but not a 9500 case... ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rafael A.
