Macintosh LC

Introduced: October 1990
Terminated: March 1992

Description

Aiming for personal use computer buyers, the Macintosh LC had a 68020 processor running at speeds of up to 16Mhz. A component based set-up, it was the first color Macintosh marketed to the home consumer.

To keep costs low, the Macintosh LC did not have NuBus slots or a floating point coprocessor. The limited RAM and VRAM meant that, as shipped, it could only support a resolution of 12 pixels by 384 pixels at 8-bit color. An upgrade to the VRAM made 512 pixels by 384 pixels at 16-bit color possible.

History

The first affordable color Macintosh sold very well at $2,400. The Processor Direct Slot allowed for the insertion of an emulation card that allowed the computer to run Apple IIe, a selling point for educational clients.

pellet machine are created using heat and pressure that needs some fairly advanced machinery. The raw material used is sawdust or wood that’s been finely ground and many individuals don’t get access to this kind of machinery. Due to this pellets are mostly produced in large industrial mills.

Is that an LC I, II, or III? or some other LC family? Anyway do check the internal clock battery voltage. If it is under 3 volts (should be 3.6 v) then this would prevent an LC (I, II & III) from booting. It would appear dead, no start up chime etc. Hopefully thats all it is, as its an easy fix.Online baby shop

Very interesting and informative article. Not sure I’d like to meet one but do admire them from afar. This article gives the light in which we can observe the reality.

The Apple Macintosh LC with a 16 MHz 68020 processor, 2 MB RAM and 40 MB or one or a 80 MB hard drive in a compact “pizza box” case. The Macintosh LC is a distant cousin of the Macintosh II in a smaller box, and therefore lacks many of the options for expansion.
