Macintosh LC II
	The Macintosh LC II was introduced in March 1992. Apple's LC family was designed as a lower-cost entry into the Macintosh world and became especially common in schools, education and homes. The low-profile pizza-box Mac combines a 16 MHz 68030 with a cost-conscious 16-bit data path.

TECHNICAL DATA

Introduction 1992 CPU Motorola 68030, 16 MHz Data path 16-bit RAM 4 MB on the logic board, maximum 10 MB addressable RAM slots 2 x 30-pin SIMM VRAM 256 KB, expandable to 512 KB Storage SCSI; typical hard disks of 40, 80 or 160 MB Floppy 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB Expansion 1 x LC PDS

PERIOD CONFIGURATIONS

The LC II typically shipped with 4 MB RAM. Two 30-pin SIMM slots allow expansion, but the design can address no more than 10 MB. Hard disks of 40, 80 or 160 MB were typical; an education-only configuration was also available with only the internal floppy drive.

TYPICAL USE CASES Schools and education Home computing Word processing and office work HyperCard and educational software Early multimedia and graphics applications AppleTalk and simple networking
