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.
