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.

-- Will support the virtual memory feature in future system software versions.
-- Provides fast processing of mathematical calculations.
-- Eliminates the need for a separate video card or special driver software.
-- Lets you work with up to 256 colors or shades of gray simultaneously on the
Macintosh 12" RGB Display and the AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor, up to
256 shades of gray with the Macintosh 12" Monochrome Display, and up to 16
shades of gray with the Apple Macintosh Portrait Display.
-- Lets you work with the monitor that best suits your needs - including
monitors that produce photographic-quality color.
-- Lets you incorporate new capabilities or increase system performance by
adding an expansion card for communications, graphics, emulation.
-- Lets you add one of the NuBus cards that are available for all other
Macintosh II systems.
-- Lets you add one of the 030 Direct Slot cards that are available for the
Macintosh SE/30 personal computer.
-- Allows convenient transfer of data files between Macintosh, OS/2, MS-DOS,
and Apple II systems.
-- Provides almost twice the storage capacity of 800K disk drives.
-- Provides ample storage capacity for files and applications.
-- Supports up to seven peripherals such as CD-ROM drives, scanners, and
printers.
-- Permits communication with the keyboard, mouse, and other devices.
-- Supports either an external 800K or 1.4-megabyte Apple SuperDrive floppy
disk drive.
