Mac Clones: Marathon: RackMac TS 604e/120 Specs | Ports

Marathon RackMac

The Marathon RackMac TS 604e/120, based on the Tsunami architecture, features a 120 MHz PowerPC 604e processor, 16 MB of RAM, a 2.1 GB hard drive, and a 2 MB IMS Twin Turbo video card in a secure, rack-mountable case. Marathon provided the 120 MHz PowerPC 604e processor primarily to "let you know that it works" but then expected you to install a PowerPC 750 (G3) upgrade card. This model can be upgraded to dual processors.
