- Macintosh II
-
- The Macintosh II is a high performance, open architecture Macintosh for
- advanced productivity, high end desktop publishing, and scientific and
- engineering applications.
-
- Its features include:
-
- -- A 68020 microprocessor with a 32-bit data bus that operates at 16 Mhz.
- The Macintosh II can open and close applications and files, access data,
- and execute graphics and calculations up to four times faster than
- the Macintosh Plus.
-
- -- 68881 floating point co-processor works with the 68020 microprocessor
- to perform operations such as multiplication, division, sine, and cosine.
- The 68881 co-processor enables the Macintosh II to carry out mathematical
- calculations 40 to 200 times faster than the 68020 microprocessor.
-
- -- 6 Nu-Bus expansion slots. Each expansion card can be placed in any of
- the slots, avoiding theneed for dip switches. Any card can take control
- of the system from the main logic board, allowing users to work within
- other operating environments.
-
- -- One built-in internal 800K floppy drive, along with the capability of
- adding another drive as memory requirements grow.
-
- -- An enhanced internal SCSI connector. It allows users to increase their
- storage capacity by installing an internal SCSI hard disk.
-
- -- Six built-in ports including:
-
- -- One SCSI port (internal and external)
- -- Two RS 422 serial ports
- -- One stereo sound port
- -- Two Apple Desktop Bus ports
-
- -- One megabyte of RAM, expandable to two, four, five, or eight megabytes.
-
- -- 256K ROM, which is a superset of the Macintosh 128K ROM. It supports
- the Hierarchical File System, external drives, AppleTalk, and the SCSI
- port. ROM's contain support for color.
-
- -- The Apple digital sound chip provides four-voice stereo sound.
-
- Two configurations for the Macintosh II are available in May, 1987.
- The entry system includes the CPU, 68881 floating point co-processor,
- one megabyte of RAM, one 800K 3 1/2-inch floppy disk drive and a mouse.
-
- The hard disk system includes everything in the entry system plus
- an internal 40 megabyte hard disk drive.
-
- Remember that the keyboard, monitor, video card, and video card expansion
- kit for the Macintosh II must be purchased separately.
-
- Macintosh II (M5300)
- Macintosh II Hard Disk 40 CPU (M5400)
-
- AppleCare (SC00056) for the Macintosh II is available for up to 36 months
- per contract.
-
- AppleCare (SC00057) for the Macintosh Hard Disk 40 CPU is available for up
- to 36 months per contract.
-
- AppleCare is available for up to 36 months per contract.
