If this machine does have DOS compatiable it will say:

Performa 630CD DOS compatiable otherwise...

Undo two screws on rear panel for the logicboard and get hold of
small handle and pull and wiggle firmly. Out comes this motherboard
w/ memory, PRAM battery etc.

If it has another daughterboard plugged into '040 socket, you got DOS
compatiable board w/ 1 socket for ram, two sockets for mac cpu (LC040
33MHz) and other one is for 486dx2 66. On the logicboard, 2 slots
for ram, all ram is non parity, FPM, 70ns or faster.

If the small slot w/ small opening at rear panel is filled by a small
card, might be a network card.

The HD, CD and floppy comes out from front end. HD is IDE (!!), CD
is 2x scsi apple rom, floppy is manual inject.

Not bad little (even it's bit bulky) box other than that, it's just
low end machine w/ limited expansion.

I hope you paid very little for it.
