- Macintosh LC Features and Benefits
-
- Copyright 1990, Apple Computer, Inc.
-
- The Apple Macintosh LC personal computer is the lowest-cost color-capable
- Macintosh. The 16-megahertz 68020 microprocessor increases system
- responsiveness more than 100 percent over the Macintosh SE and Classic.
-
- Built-in support for three Apple monitors eliminates the need to add a separate
- video card. The three monitors that may be used with the Macintosh LC are the
- Macintosh 12" RGB Display, the Macintosh 12" Monochrome Display, and the
- AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor. You can use 256 colors on the
- Macintosh 12" RGB Display, 16 shades of gray on the Macintosh 12" Monochrome
- Display, and 16 colors on the AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor. The
- optional Macintosh LC 512K VRAM (video random-access memory) SIMM (Single
- In-line Memory Module) allows the generation of more colors or shades of gray
- on all three monitors.
-
- The Macintosh LC has been designed so you can add sounds to documents created
- with the computer.
-
- The system comes standard with the 1.4-megabyte Apple SuperDrive disk drive.
- This allows read/write operations to 3.5-inch disks initialized for the
- Macintosh as well as MS-DOS, OS/2, and ProDOS. A 40-megabyte internal hard
- disk is also included.
-
- There are seven built-in ports to connect the Macintosh LC with peripheral
- equipment. Built-in networking is also included. A processor-direct slot
- allow you to add a high-performance expansion card for additional graphics and
- communications.
-
- The Apple IIe Card is available that allows the Macintosh LC to run all
- applications developed for Apple IIe systems. The Macintosh LC will be able to
- run applications supported by system software 7.0.
