- Macintosh IIsi
-
- Copyright 1990, Apple Computer, Inc.
-
- The Macintosh IIsi is the lowest-cost member of the Macintosh II line. It is
- equipped with a 20-megahertz 68030 microprocessor that runs Macintosh
- applications up to five times faster than the Macintosh Classic. This allows
- you to work under A/UX.
-
- The Macintosh IIsi comes with built-in support for four Apple monitors as well
- as third-party monitors. A video expansion card can be added if you need to
- use any other Apple or third-party monitors.
-
- An internal expansion slot for either a NuBus card or an 030 Direct Slot card
- allows you to add one of the expansion cards that are available for
- communications, video, or coprocessing. An optional floating-point math
- coprocessor can be added to speed mathematical calculations. Eight external
- ports allow you to connect peripheral equipment.
-
- Sound input is available with the Macintosh IIsi. The unit comes with a
- microphone and phono jack adapter, which let you input your voice into
- documents, presentations, and even electronic mail messages.
-
- The Macintosh IIsi will run applications supported by system software version
- 7.0.
