The Performa series was Apple's old brand for the home computer market. Most
Performas were also available as either LCs, Quadras or PowerMacs.
The 630 contains a 33 MHz 68LC040 processor, an IDE (!) hard drive, a CommSlot
for modems or ethernet cards, an LC PDS slot and possibly cards for video and
TV.
It uses 72-pin SIMMs. The motherboard slides out from the back after you've
removed some plastic panels. It plugs into a backplane in the front.

Yes, there was a version with a PC bridgeboard, the 630PC. A 486 on a card,
exploiting the Mac resources.
