The article says: "it used an IDE hard disk instead of the faster SCSI hard disks that all other Macintoshes had used" I owned a first-model Mac LC and used it actively for several years. From personal experience replacing the hard drive, I am certain that it used SCSI for both internal hard disks and external peripherals. In fact, the conversion to IDE happened in later models. Does anyone know when that conversion actually occurred? Bouncey 23:23, 2005 Mar 7 (UTC)

From memory - The "LC" 630 was the first mac with an IDE hard drive. and here's a source: http://www.lowendmac.com/quadra/q630.shtml

I'm pretty sure that LCs did not exist all the way up to the iMac launch. The iMac replaced the Power Macintosh 6500 and the All-In-One G3. dsemaya 08:52, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

LCs did exist until the iMac launch. In the mid-late 90s Apple tried to rationalize their model naming by having LCs be for education, Quadras for business and Performas for home. So the same computer could be sold as e.g. the LC630, Quadra 630 and Performa 630. But the numbers weren't necessarily a constant either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.110.223 (talk) 18:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Not true. The LCs existed until 1996. I have it in Mac Secrets, 5th edition. Power Mac 5500 and the AIO G3 were NEVER labeled LCs. If no one responds in a while, I'll change the article. 76.211.236.218 (talk) 21:24, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
