What was the smallest desktop Mac prior to the
Mac mini? Apple's LC series, which measured just
under 3" tall, although it had as big a footprint
as four minis. The Macintosh LC is an affordable
modular Macintosh. It is a versatile system that
is nice for education and business uses, from
color presentations to spreadsheets.
The first Mac crippled from the ground up, the
LC was designed to a new low price point of $2,500
in a 2/40 configuration. The LC was the first
Mac to run a 32-bit CPU on a 16-bit data bus,
making memory access slower than it should be
(the LC tests at about 3/4 the performance of
the Mac II, even though both use the same 16 MHz
68020 CPU). Although Apple had retired the 68020
chip with the Mac II in January 1990, it reintroduced
it with the LC that November. To add insult to
injury, Apple programmed the ASICs to support
no more than 10 MB of RAM. Apple introduced a
new color video standard (512 x 384 pixel) and
a cheap 12" color monitor to match it. With
a VRAM upgrade, the LC supports 16-bit video on
the 12" monitor or 8-bit video on a standard
640 x 480 screen. Because of the odd screen size,
some programs refused to run with the small monitor.

Der Mac LC II (LC = LowCost) "die Pizzabox"
wurde 1992 als Nachfolger des LC (1990) herausgegeben.
Der Macintosh LC II hat gegenüber dem ursprünglichen
Modell einen etwas leistungsfähigeren Prozessor
bekommen, einen 68030 mit 16 MHz. Als Seichersockel
dienen weiterhin zwei 30polige SIMMs. Der LC war
für den Heimgebrauch bestimmt und war mit
1240 $ einer der erschwinglichsten Macs überhaupt.
Der LC II hat das legendäre Pizzabox Gehäuse,
das extrem flache Gehäuse wirkt vor allem
unter dem passenden Monitor extrem elegant. Sollten
Sie einen Monochrome oder RGB Monitor kaufen wollen,
nehmen Sie bitte Kontakt zu mir auf.

The case is partial yellowed due to its age.
Das Gehäuse ist vergilbt, das kann man
bei seinem Alter aber verzeihen. |
