  Macintosh II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apple Macintosh II The 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 Macintosh II models including the Macintosh IIx and Macintosh IIfx, all of which used the Motorola 68030 processor.
The Macintosh II was the first Macintosh to have the Chimes of Death accompany the Sad Mac logo whenever a serious hardware error occurred.

Smart choice: In June of 2004 the giant system — named System II — became the slowest supercomputer in the world.
Unlike most, it is based on a “minicluster” of Macintosh II-series computers, each of which has 20MB of main memory, and 160MB of SCSI storage.
Not only is System II the world’s slowest, most pointless “home-built” supercomputer, it quite possibly has cheaper price/performance than any supercomputer on the TOP500 list.

Although they showed no slowing in their plans for the Macintosh (which was making steady progress in gaining acceptability in the business world), a multi-million dollar marketing and media blitz was arranged to promote the new IIGS as the ultimate home and recreational use computer.
The Apple II community was excited about the new computer, and inCider magazine featured a exuberant Steve Wozniak on the cover of its October 1986 issue with the caption, "It's Amazing!" Apple, for its part, did do some advertising for the new computer in the pages of current Apple II publications of the time.
As I've mentioned before, the backward compatibility with the 8-bit Apple II was one of the greatest strengths of the Apple IIGS; however, this was also one of its greatest weaknesses, as it compromised from the start some of the decisions made in its design.

A crippling factor in the Macintosh II series had been the lack of on-board video output.
Any user who stumped up the thousands of dollars needed to buy their beloved Mac II was faced with the additional cost of adding some form of video card.
Things were not all rosy though and while the Mac IIci did allow users to avoid having to pay additional dollars before they could actually use their machine (typically an extra $400 for a video card), the way in which the video system handled memory was slightly underhanded.

Macintosh computers contain an internal backup battery to maintain system settings, such as the date and time, when the computer is turned off.
The battery may last up to five years though actual life is determined by shelf life of the battery and usage patterns of the computer.
Some Macintosh models, such as the Power Macintosh 7100 and the Quadra 605, display a fl screen when the battery has failed and the computer is turned on.

Keep in mind that the great majority of Macintosh software out there does not require a PowerPC processor or even Mac OS 8.5, as most Mac software is written for the 68000 or 68040 and compatible with Mac OS 8.1 or earlier.
Macintosh computers have been around since 1984, and most Macintosh software written until about 2000 was actually still 68020 or 68040 based.
