[2] Later in 1993, Apple decided to follow an emerging industry trend of naming product families for their target customers – Quadra for business, LC for education, and Performa for home – and folded the Centris 610 into the Quadra family.

[4] The product was deemed a success by Apple, selling all 25,000 units that were produced within months of its launch.

Standard equipment on all Centris 610 models includes onboard video (with VGA support via an adapter), two ADB and two serial ports, and an external SCSI connector.

This arrangement initially precluded the use of the full 68040 processor as there was insufficient clearance for a heat sink, something the 68LC040 does not require.

[2] This was no longer an issue by the time the Quadra 610 DOS Compatible was released, which included a full 68040 CPU.
