DISCUSSION The Apple Macintosh LC personal computer is, at its introduction, the lowest-cost color-capable Macintosh. The 16-megahertz 68020 microprocessor increases system responsiveness more than 100 percent over the Macintosh SE and Classic. Built-in support for three Apple monitors eliminates the need to add a separate video card. The three monitors that may be used with the Macintosh LC are the Macintosh 12-inch RGB Display, the Macintosh 12-inch Monochrome Display, and the AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor. You can use 256 colors on the Macintosh 12-inch RGB Display, 16 shades of gray on the Macintosh 12-inch Monochrome Display, and 16 colors on the AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor. The optional Macintosh LC 512K VRAM (video random- access memory) SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) allows the generation of more colors or shades of gray on all three monitors. The Macintosh LC has been designed so you can add sounds to documents created with the computer. The system comes standard with the 1.4MB Apple SuperDrive disk drive. This allows read/write operations to 3.5-inch disks initialized for the Macintosh as well as MS-DOS, OS/2, and ProDOS. A 40MB internal hard disk is also included. There are seven built-in ports to connect the Macintosh LC with peripheral equipment. Built-in networking is also included. A processor-direct slot allow you to add a high-performance expansion card for additional graphics and communications. The available Apple IIe Card is allows the Macintosh LC to run all applications developed for Apple IIe systems. The Macintosh LC supports System software 7.0.
