Overview[edit]
The Macintosh II personal computer is the high-performance, open-architecture member of the Macintosh family. It provides advanced color and graphics capabilities, with a palette of over 16 million colors. The Macintosh II is designed for advanced applications in business, desktop publishing, science, and engineering. It comes standard with a full 32-bit 68020 microprocessor and a 68881 floating-point coprocessor. For maximum flexibility, the Macintosh II makes room for more memory-up to 8 megabytes of on-board RAM and includes six built-in ports and six expansion slots that let you create virtually any system configuration you need.
Using hardware and software options from Apple and third parties, the Macintosh II can support other operating environments, including MS-DOS and AT&T UNIX. To go with the Macintosh II, you have a choice of monitors including the AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor - as well as keyboards and internal or external disk drives. The Macintosh II is compatible with existing Macintosh software, and comes standard with 1 megabyte of RAM and a built-in 800-kilobyte floppy disk drive. It is available in two configurations: with or without an internal 40-megabyte hard disk drive.
Adding to the power and versatility of the Macintosh II is Apple's first-generation multitasking operating system, MultiFinder. MultiFinder allows you to open multiple applications concurrently and perform background tasks - such as printing documents on laser printers while you continue to work in an application. In addition to the System software, the Macintosh II is packaged with Apple's exciting HyperCard application. HyperCard is an information-management toolkit that lets you organize information on your computer the way you organize it in your mind-by association, and with unlimited cross-references.
General Information[edit]
Introduced in March 1987, The Mac II was the ultimate expandable Mac. Based on the new 68020 processor, the Mac II was the first 32-bit Mac (although it was not "32-bit clean"). The Mac II included 6 NuBus slots, which allowed for a number of different Apple and Third Part expansion cards. The Mac II was the first Mac with color capabilities -- a graphics card could be installed capable of handling up to 16.7 million colors. It originally sold for $3,898 for the basic system, and at $5,498 for 1 MB of RAM, one 800K floppy disk drive and one 40 MB internal SCSI hard disk drive. This model was discontinued in January 1990.
Codename: Little Big Mac.
CPU[edit]
Motorola 68020 processor running at 16MHz, optional built-in paged memory management unit (PMMU). Motorola 68881 math coprocessor.
Memory[edit]
1MB standard, expandable to 8MB originally.
Expansion[edit]
The Macintosh II offered six NuBus slots, one of which would have been occupied by a graphics card.
NuBus provides a 32-bit single address bus and data bus on a 96-pin connector. NuBus is self-configuring. Cards can be plugged into any slot and the system will automatically identify and configure each card, without any DIP switches or jumper wires.
