Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Door 2003)

Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Door 2003)

Apple brought back the Mirrored Drive Doors design in June 2003 because buyers still needed a Mac that starts up in Mac OS 9. Compared with the Power Mac G4 (FW 800), it has no FireWire 800 port and can start up in Mac OS 9 again. It has a single 1.25 GHz G4. It was the last Mac that could start up in Mac OS 9.
