History

The Mac II was the ultimate expandable Mac. Based on the new 68020 processor, the Mac II was the first 32-bit Mac (although it was not "32-bit clean"). The Mac II included 6 Nubus slots, which allowed for a number of different Apple and third party expansion cards. The Mac II was the first Mac with color capabilities--a graphics card could be installed capable of handling up to 16.7 million colors! It originally sold for $3,898 U.S. for the basic system, and at $5,498 U.S. for 1 MB of RAM, one 800 KB floppy disk drive and one 40 MB internal SCSI hard disk drive.
