Known quirks
- Code-named "Shiner HE" — high-end ANS that added redundant hot-swappable power supplies
- 700/200 (added Nov 1996) used a 200 MHz PowerPC 604e and listed around $19,000
- Ran only AIX Unix — the PowerPC ROM blocked classic Mac OS just like the 500
- Pitched against Sun and IBM RS/6000 for file, web, and database serving
- Cancelled April 1997 with the rest of the Apple Network Server line
