As first shipped on July 1, 1993, the Apple Macintosh WGS 60 featured a 20 MHz 68LC040 processor, 4 MB of RAM, an 80 MB hard drive, and an optional 2X CD-ROM drive. On October 21, 1993, Apple released a second version with a 25 MHz 68040 processor, 8 MB of RAM, a 230 MB hard drive, and an optional 2X CD-ROM drive. Both use the same low-profile desktop case and shipped with pre-installed AppleShare 4.0 server software, too.

The business version of the first 68LC040-powered configuration is the Centris 610 and the second 68040-powered configuration is the Quadra 610.
