Original text by Steve Hayman.
Humungous Entertainment’s CD-ROM titles for classic Macs.
The infamous Power Mac 5200 featured the horrendously slow PowerPC 603 (not the 603e). As if that wasn’t bad enough, a recycled motherboard design fed the 603’s 64-bit memory bus with a 32-bit wide memory subsystem, exacerbating the 603’s performance problems. Add some reliability issues, bring to a boil, simmer to distaste.
