The Macintosh IIvi (also sold as the Macintosh Performa 600) is personal computer designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. from October 1992 to February 1993 as part of the Macintosh II series of Macintosh computers. The IIvi includes a 40, 160 or 400 MB hard drive, three NuBus slots and a PDS. The IIvi is very similar to the Macintosh IIvx with a slower processor (16 MHz vs. 32 MHz) and no floating point unit. The Performa 600 is essentially a IIvi with the IIvx's 32 MHz CPU. The IIvi was, on some benchmarks, faster than the IIvx.

The Performa 600 was featured in the 1994 Disney movie Blank Check.
