1997.02System 7.5.5 (System Enabler 702) ~ Mac OS 9.1

Background

The 7300 replaced both the 7200 and the 7600 in Apple's product line. Available in both 180 and 200 MHz models (and 166MHz in Japan and Europe), the 7300 ran on a single 604e processor. It lost the 7600's video input circuitry, but kept the removable daughtercard and the 7600's memory interleaving feature. (neither of which had been included in the 7200) The 180 MHz model included 16 MB of RAM, and sold for $1,700 U.S. The 200 MHz model included 32 MB of RAM, and sold for $2,300 U.S.
