  Apple Macintosh II Specs @ EveryMac.com
The Apple Macintosh II features a 16 MHz 68020 processor, 1 MB of RAM, a 40 MB or an 80 MB hard drive, and the option of an Apple Macintosh II video card in a relatively easy-to-expand desktop case.
The Macintosh II was nicknamed the "Open Mac" because of its 6 NuBus slots which made expansion and customization easy.
The Macintosh II was also the first color Macintosh and set a new standard for color in the computer industry.

  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Macintosh IIsi
The Macintosh IIsi was a compact 3-box desktop unit, effectively a cut-down Macintosh IIci in a smaller case, made cheaper by the redesign of the motherboard and the deletion of all but one of the expansion card slots (a single Processor Direct Slot).
Beginning with the Macintosh II and culminating in the Macintosh IIfx, the Mac II series was Apple Computer's high-end line from 1987 until the introduction of the Motorola 68040-based Macintosh Quadra computers in 1991.
Along with the Mac II, the Macintosh SE was released, the first compact Mac with an expansion slot; although another 8-MHz 68000 machine it shared some of the II's aesthetics, such as its new ergonomic mouse and keyboard.

 Folklore.org: Macintosh Stories: Mea Culpa
Of course, it was foolish to count on unused address bits to stay that way for very long, and it became a problem when the Macintosh transitioned to the 68020 processor in 1987, with the introduction of the Macintosh II.
The Apple II kept important system globals in low memory, and the 68000 included a special 'short' addressing mode that made accessing addresses in the first 32K of memory more efficient, which motivated us to use low memory for various globals.
We thought that we were making a great product, reincarnating the Apple II for the 1980's, but we were actually creating the first in a long line of compatible computers that would persist for decades, although the latter wouldn't have happened if we didn't succeed at the former.
