Macintosh II

The Macintosh II is a high performance, open architecture Macintosh for advanced productivity, high end desktop publishing, and scientific and engineering applications.

Its features include:

• A 68020 microprocessor with a 32-bit data bus that operates at 16 Mhz. The Macintosh II can open and close applications and files, access data, and execute graphics and calculations up to four times faster than the Macintosh Plus.
• 68881 floating point co-processor works with the 68020 microprocessor to perform operations such as multiplication, division, sine, and cosine. The 68881 co-processor enables the Macintosh II to carry out mathematical calculations 40 to 200 times faster than the 68020 microprocessor.
• 6 Nu-Bus expansion slots. Each expansion card can be placed in any of the slots, avoiding the need for dip switches. Any card can take control of the system from the main logic board, allowing users to work within other operating environments.
• One built-in internal 800K floppy drive, along with the capability of adding another drive as memory requirements grow.
• An enhanced internal SCSI connector. It allows users to increase their storage capacity by installing an internal SCSI hard disk.
• Six built-in ports including:
  One SCSI port (internal and external)
  Two RS 422 serial ports
  One stereo sound port
  Two Apple Desktop Bus ports
• One megabyte of RAM, expandable to two, four, five, or eight megabytes.
• 256K ROM, which is a superset of the Macintosh 128K ROM. It supports the Hierarchical File System, external drives, AppleTalk, and the SCSI port. ROM's contain support for color.
• The Apple digital sound chip provides four-voice stereo sound.

Two configurations for the Macintosh II are available in May, 1987. The entry system includes the CPU, 68881 floating point co-processor, one megabyte of RAM, one 800K 3 1/2-inch floppy disk drive and a mouse.

The hard disk system includes everything in the entry system plus an internal 40 megabyte hard disk drive.

Remember that the keyboard, monitor, video card, and video card expansion kit for the Macintosh II must be purchased separately.

Macintosh 20SC, 40SC, and 80SC Internal Hard Disks

There are three ways users can internally expand storage capacity of the Macintosh II and Macintosh SE.

The Macintosh Internal 20SC Hard Disk provides 20 megabytes of internal storage for the Macintosh SE and Macintosh II.

This 3.5-inch hard disk provides fast access and transmission time because of the SCSI interface. It also connects to the Apple Tape Backup 40SC to efficiently backup and restore information. Users can add up to six additional hard disks, tape backup systems, or other SCSI peripherals.

The Macintosh Internal 20SC Hard Disk comes standard with the Macintosh SE Hard Disk 20 CPU and may also be purchased separately to install in the Macintosh SE or Macintosh II.

The Macintosh 40SC and Macintosh 80SC Internal Hard Disks provide Macintosh II users with high performance SCSI hard disk solutions. Both feature 5.25 hard disk assemblies and access time of 30 milliseconds.

The Macintosh Internal 40SC Hard Disk and Macintosh Internal 80SC Hard Disk provide 40 and 80 megabytes, respectively, of internal formatted storage. Both can connect to the Apple Tape Backup 40SC, and both are expandable with up to six additional hard disks, tape backup systems, or other SCSI devices.

The Macintosh Internal 20SC Hard Disk is available for ordering in March, 1987. The Macintosh Internal 40SC and 80SC Hard Disks will be available in May, 1987.  All Internal Hard Disks must be dealer installed.

Apple Tape Backup 40SC

The Apple Tape Backup 40SC offers users unlimited storage capacity when backing up large quantities of critical data.

It features 40 megabytes of backup storage with each tape cartridge, or 50 times the storage capacity of a single 800K disk.

Its SCSI interface allows users to operate it with all the Macintosh hard disk based systems, and a SCSI expansion port provides room for additional growth by allowing them to connect hard disks, other tape backup systems, and external Apple Hard Disk SC drives. It can be stacked with all of the external Apple Hard Disk SC drives.

A tape backup program is included with the Apple Tape Backup 40SC. It offers Volume and File backup/restore options. Users also receive one QIC-100 pre-formatted quarter-inch tape cartridge enabling them to backup or restore their entire 20MB or 40MB hard disk in one easy operation or select individual files as needed.

The Apple Tape Backup 40SC will be available in May, 1987. A five-pack of pre-formatted backup tape cartridges may be purchased separately.

Apple Keyboard and Apple Extended Keyboard

Two keyboards--the Apple Keyboard and Apple Extended Keyboard--work with the Macintosh SE and Macintosh II.

The Apple Keyboard is a standard keyboard solution that combines a numeric keypad, cursor keys, and Macintosh-style keycaps. It has a layout and functionality identical to the Apple IIGS keyboard.

The Apple Extended Keyboard provides an alternative solution for users who want to use applications that run alternate operating systems and applications, and terminal emulation software. It features a T-style cursor keypad, function keys, as well as a larger footprint design.

Together with third-party MS-DOS-compatible co-processor cards, both keyboards enable Macintosh II and Macintosh SE users to run both Apple and IBM-specific applications.

The Apple Keyboard and Apple Extended Keyboard come with a platinum finish and incorporate the new Macintosh design. Both keyboards support the Apple Desktop Bus interface.]

These products are not included with Macintosh II and Macintosh SE CPUs and must be purchased separately. The Apple Keyboard is available in March; and the Apple Extended Keyboard will be available in April, 1987.

Apple PC 5.25 Drive and Drive Cards

The Apple PC  5.25 Drive, in combination with the Macintosh II PC Drive Card or the Macintosh SE-Bus PC Drive Card, enable users to exchange data between their Apple and MS-DOS formatted 5.25-inch disks.

The Apple PC 5.25-inch Drive also allows users to exchange information with different types of MS-DOS machines that use the standard DB37 connector.

Together with the Macintosh II PC Drive Card or Macintosh SE-Bus PC Drive Card, a user can directly connect the Apple PC 5.25 Drive with a Macintosh II or Macintosh SE, respectively.

Both the Macintosh II and Macintosh SE-Bus PC Drive Cards are designed to work with the Macintosh II and Macintosh SE as controllers for the Apple PC 5.25 Drive. Internally mounted, these cards provide the interface that allows the Macintosh II and Macintosh SE to read and write files in the format familiar to MS-DOS programs.

Third-party developers will market co-processor cards that will work with the Apple PC 5.25 Drive and are designed to allow the Macintosh II or Macintosh SE to run PC application software.

The Apple PC 5.25 Drvie, in combination with InterFile, a utility, and the Macintosh II PC Drive Card or the Macintosh SE-Bus PC Drive Card, enables users to exchange data between their Apple and MS-DOS formatted 5.25-inch disks.

InterFile provides the software link to the data in the 5.25 drive. InterFile transfers data to a different application's format.  For example, with the proper translator, InterFile can translate a Multimate document to MacWrite document.  Apple and other companies will provide InterFile's application-to-application translators.

The Apple PC 5.25 Drive Card, the Macintosh II PC Drive Card, and the Macintosh SE-Bus PC Drive Card will be available in late June or early July, 1987.

Apple 1MB and 2MB Memory Expansion Kits
 
With the Apple 1MB and 2MB Memory Expansion Kits, users can expand their Macintosh CPUs' memory and maintain larger files.

SIMMS, or Single In-line Memory Modules, are plug-in RAM expansion strips that are configured with up to eight RAM chips in either 256 kilobyte or one megabyte configurations. Up to eight of these modules can be snapped in the Macintosh II computer's motherboard, allowing memory expansion options of 2MB, 5MB, and 8MB. Up to four modules can be installed in the Macintosh Plus and Macintosh SE, bringing the configuration up to 2.5MB or 4 MB.

The 1 MB Memory Expansion Kit consists of two 1Mbit SIMM strips, allowing Macintosh SE or Macintosh Plus users to expand the RAM from its standard one megabyte of memory to 2.5 or 4MB of RAM. This allows a Macintosh II user, who must upgrade with two kits at a time, to expand from 1MB to 5MB or 8MB of RAM.

Apple's 1MB and 2MB Memory Expansion Kits will be available for ordering in April, 1987.
