personal computer by Apple

The Mac IIvi is a slower version of the Mac IIvx , running a 16 MHz 68030 CPU on a 16 MHz bus. The IIvi was never sold in the United States. Unlike the IIvx, the IIvi cannot accept a level 2 (L2) cache, although it can accept an accelerator.

In terms of performance, on some benchmarks it held its own against the crippled IIvx.

The Mac IIvi was the first Mac available with a built-in CD-ROM drive and also the first Mac to use a metal case.
