The Apple IIe card will only function in System 7.5.5 with 32-bit addressing turned off in the memory control panel. The Apple IIe card will not function after System 7.5.5 - it is not supported because of the 32-bit memory addressing. An LC 550 (Performa 550) logic board is installed. PRAM clock batteries are not included on logic boards when shipped international due to customs enforcement and courier regulations pertaining to battery devices. There is an internal Apple 1.4MB SuperDrive floppy disk drive inside the Performa LC 550, and it is functional. CRT displays may show signs of age over the years during the first few minutes of startup, with small dark portions of the screen readjusting to full contrast, or partial burn-in, and this is considered normal for vintage computers. Vintage LC 550s have beige cases that have been exposed to sunlight and may appear to fade from platinum to tan beige or sometimes yellow. Machine plastics are 30 years old, and have scuffs, scratches and imperfections.
Seller will ship this Performa 550 carefully wrapped for secure transport and domestic shipping throughout the United States. The equipment will be professionally packaged by the seller when shipped, however, international shipping and handling is also available throughout the world at additional cost specified here in the listing; Approximate weight of bundle for shipping is 50 pounds. I have years of experience packing vintage Macintosh All-In-Ones for safeshipment, and I insist on wrapping at least 3 to 6 inches of bubble-wrap around all 6 sides of the machine to minimize the potential for physical damage upon direct impact during handling.
However, this unit is offered as-is, with no warranty and no returns, and any changes or additional modifications are not supported, as such actions are performed at your own risk. It is recommended to make a secondary back-up of the hard drive when using this machine for the first time.
