The Apple Macintosh II was the first "modular" Macintosh model, so called because it came in a standard desktop case.

The Macintosh II was followed by a series of confusingly-named modular Macs including the Macintosh IIx[?] and Macintosh IIfx, all of which used the Motorola 68030 processor.

 Apple II History Chap 1
Apple Computer has the unique distinction of being the single surviving company from the early days of personal computing that is still in business and is still successfully selling computers, as well as challenging Microsoft's dominance in operating systems.
The success of the Apple II is due entirely to the millions of people who bought it, used it, and developed software and hardware for it, in spite of the mistakes of its parent company.
This strength of the Apple II could also be considered a weakness, because it presented a major difficulty in making design improvements that kept up with the advances in computer technology between 1976 and 1993, but yet maintaining the compatibility with the past.

 What is an Apple II?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Although the machine that replaced the Apple I was the only one actually called an "Apple II" by Apple, it spawned a large family of compatible machines, all of whose names begin with "Apple II", and so the whole family is frequently referred to in general as the "Apple II", as I have done here.
The original Apple II was released in 1977, and it was one of the first three computers that was sold as a complete unit, the other two being the TRS-80 Model I and the Commodore PET 2001.
Eventually, the original Apple II was replaced by the very similar Apple II plus in 1979, and this in turn was replaced by the most common and longest-lived member of the family, the Apple //e, in 1983.
