	Macintosh XL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Macintosh XL was a modified version of the Apple Lisa personal computer made by Apple Computer.
		The Macintosh XL had a 400k 3.5" floppy drive and an optional 10 MB hard drive.
		Because of its roots as a Lisa—and unlike all other Macintosh computers—the Macintosh XL did not use square pixels.

		Smith's first Macintosh board design was to Raskin's specifications; it had a 64K memory, used the slow Motorola 6809E microprocessor, and had a 256 by 256 fl and white bitmap display.
		Existing Macintosh software that had been written for the 68000 series CPUs -- including some large sections of the Mac OS -- were made to run with a software emulator.

	Apple Macintosh
		Macintosh, also known informally as Mac, is a family of personal computers manufactured by Apple Computer, Inc. of Cupertino, California, USA.
		The Macintosh was introduced on January 22, 1984, with a famous Super Bowl commercial featuring a female athlete throwing a hammer through a giant TV screen image of a dictator ("Big Brother", alluding to the tyrant character of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, and vaguely reminiscent of the dominant computer maker at that time: IBM).
		The Macintosh system software was a very large amount of complicated code that embodied the Mac's entire set of APIs, including the use of the GUI and file system, and a large amount of this system software was included in the Macintosh's ROM chips.

		Macintosh XL and 128 computers are not supported since they do not use the Appleshare networking software.
		Therefore Macintosh cannot access file names created on the NT environment that are longer than 32 characters but NT autogenerates 8.3 length file names to overcome this problem.
		Macintosh volumes may be created using Server Manager, File Manager, and possibly MacFile which runs out of the File Manager (depending on who you ask).

	Apple II History Chap 8
		He had named this computer "Macintosh", and during 1980 Raskin worked on guidelines to fulfill his dream of simplicity, and took some steps to begin design on the hardware.
		When Steve Jobs discovered the Macintosh project, he literally took it over, altering Raskin's ideas to have this computer run with the same Motorola 68000 processor used by the Lisa, and to use the same complex but easy-to-use interface as well.
		Like Macintosh, it could be taken out of the box, plugged in, and put to work--no extra parts to buy, no cables to figure out.

		But in February 1982 Raskin resigned from Apple because Macintosh development had reached an intractable philosophical fork: Steve Jobs wanted the Mac to be a strict technical descendant of the brilliant but troubled Lisa (see page 44,) whereas Raskin believed that the two were separate computers with distinct purposes and markets.
		In April 1985 the Lisa was discontinued and the Macintosh became Apple's top-end computer; after the discontinuation Apple supported the Lisa hardware with a 5-year program of spare parts and repair services.
		Macintosh core software, on the other hand, was written in 68000 assembly language.

		Macintosh started the whole family of computers and devices that continued the tradition of innovating, taking care of the user in the first place, and – as Apple itself put it a couple of years ago – thinking different.
		Macintosh succeeded at what Xerox Alto, Xerox Star, and Apple Lisa couldn’t – popularizing the use of the mouse (along with its revolutionary GUI) and introducing the world to a device as powerful, as it was simple, and now such natural concepts as “point and click” and “drag and drop.”
		Macintosh would not be what it was, and probably would not even see the light of day, if not for the group of extraordinary people who put a great amount of effort to make it happen.
