The Macintosh IIvi (also sold as the Macintosh Performa 600) is personal computer designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. from September 1992 to February 1993. The IIvi was introduced alongside the Macintosh IIvx, using a slower processor (16 MHz vs. 32 MHz) and no floating point unit.
