NO NO NO NO... Claris Works shipped with EVERY performa... but since it
was an Apple product, it was tied into that damn Backup program, and no
install disks were supplied. (There should be a simple manual, but the
previous owners may have lost it). Don't flush it, it is legal (and
again, I can supply you with a replacement copy if need be, it came with
Claris Works version 2.1)

The 2400 is the better of the two. Check Apple's web site for specs. The
goofy catch with the 2400 is, it has no direct printer driver, you need
to use the driver for the 2500 (go figure)

If you are dumping the GV Bronze modems, I would be interested in
aquiring them from you. They are FANTASTIC fax modems, so I use them on
old Mac SE's as fax stations.

Accordng to Apple, the 630CD comes with a Restore CD. Run that, and you
will get all the shipped "legal" software the machine came with.

The 630CD shipped with the following software:

Performa 630CD - M3424LL/A ? ? ? ? ? Includes ClarisWorks 2.1, American ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Heritage Dictionary 3rd Edition,
Quicken
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?4, MacLink Translators, Mac Gallery
Clip
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Art, Click Art Performa Collection,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?KidWorks 2, Thinkin' Things, The
Writing
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Center, Spectre Challenger, Spin
Doctor
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Lite, TelePort Fax Send, At Ease
2.0, PC
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Exchange, and eWorld.

It also orginally shipped with System 7.1, but 7.5.5 is now free off
Apple's web site, so you can upgrade to it without legal fear.

If you don't have the restore CD, let me know, I can look and see if I
have one.
