The Power Macintosh 7500 was one of the first PCI capable Macs manufactured by Apple Computer. It was released along side the Power Macintosh 7200, and the Power Macintosh 8500 in October 1995. The 7500 had a PowerPC 601 processor rated at 100 MHz that was upgradeable via a daughtercard. It also featured full composite video and s-video input capability, but no output, as the 7500 was designed to be a video conferencing system, not a multimedia editing machine; this was the 8500's main purpose. The 7500 and 7200 featured a unique swing open chassis called "Outrigger" that allowed for extremely easy upgrades, as the entire motherboard was open to the user.
A later model, the Power Macintosh 7600, was identical to the 7500 except for the CPU; the 7600 used a PowerPC 604 or 604e processor instead of the 601.
