Macintosh II
Introduced: March 1987
Terminated: January 1990
Description
The Motorola 68020 processor ran at speeds of up to 16Mhz. The 1MB memory was expandable up to 20MB or 68MB using the SuperDrive upgrade kit. It had a number of expansion slots that could be used for Apple or third-party add-ons. The Macintosh II was considerably faster than previous models.
The first Macintosh capable of color graphics had a screen resolution of 640x480 and offered a choice of 256 colors.
History
The entry-level Macintosh II retailed for $3,898 while the high end model cost $5,498. It was the first Macintosh to come in a modular configuration. Rather than a single case containing both the CPU and the monitor the Macintosh II left the choice of monitors to users. This was a good way of taking advantage of one of the key features of the Macintosh II: full color graphics.
The Macintosh II was the first Macintosh to use the infamous “Chimes of Death” and display the “Sad Mac” logo when major hardware errors occurred.
