Macintosh IIvi

Introduced: October 1992
Terminated: February 1993

Description

The Macintosh IIvi ran on a Motorola 68030 processor at speeds of up to 16MHz. The internal hard drive could have from 40-400MB of space. The 4MB of RAM was upgradable to 68MB.

A 1.4MB floppy drive was standard while a 2x CD-ROM optical drive was optional.

History

The Macintosh IIvi was one of the shortest-lived Macintoshes ever. It was discontinued after only four months and was never even sold in the United States. It was almost identical to the Macintosh IIvx except with a slower processor and no FPU. Later models borrowed the layout of the motherboard of the Macintosh IIvi and paired it with a more powerful processor.
