RAMtype=100 ns 30-pin SIMMThe Apple Macintosh Classic II (also known as the
Performa 200) replaced theMacintosh SE/30 in thecompact Macintosh line in 1991. Like the SE/30, the Classic II was powered by a 16MHz Motorola 68030 CPU and 40 or 80 MBhard disk , but in contrast to its predecessor, it was limited by a 16-bit data bus and a 10MB memory ceiling.While the Classic II shares a case with the earlier Classic, architecturally it is more similar to the
Macintosh LC . The use of custom ICs, identical to those used in the LC, enabled the Classic II to have a lower component count than older Macs. Unlike the LC and the SE/30 before it, The Classic II did not have an internal PDS expansion slot.There were two Classic II cases. Later models came with a new speaker grille on the left side for enhanced sound (as pictured).
The Classic II was the last black-and-white compact Macintosh. It was also the last desktop Macintosh to include an external
floppy disk port. Apple discontinued support for the Classic II on January 1, 2001.Full Specifications
