Network Server 700
Background
The Apple Network Server (ANS) was a line of PowerPC-based server computers designed, manufactured and sold by from February 1996 to April 1997. It originally consisted of two models, the Network Server 500/132 and the Network Server 700/150, which got a companion model, the Network Server 700/200 with a faster CPU in November 1996. The machines were not a part of the Apple Macintosh line of computers; they were designed to run IBM's AIX operating system and their ROM specifically prevented booting the classic Mac OS. This makes them the last non-Macintosh desktop computers made by Apple to date. Apple did not have comparable server hardware in their product lineup again until the introduction of the Xserve in 2002.
