Macintosh SE

The Macintosh SE was a popular computer model of Apple. It was introduced in March 1987 and until October 1990 in the program.

Although partially produced in parallel with the Macintosh Plus, he came into office as his successor. Against this there was a new case design, the concept of the all-in -one package ( computer, monitor, hard drive and floppy drive in an enclosure, external keyboard and mouse) was retained. The optional internal hard drive and the ability to install expansion cards, but a fan on the back for cooling of the housing through increased air circulation was necessary.

The Macintosh SE features such as the plus on a Motorola 68000 at 8 MHz, a 9-inch B / W screen with 512 × 342 pixels, but has over the Macintosh Plus a faster memory access (approx. 15%), an SE PDS expansion slot for monochrome graphics cards for whole page screens, Ethernet cards, GPIB or CPU cards, and an internal SCSI connector. Thus, the Macintosh SE was prepared for an internal SCSI hard drive, factory typically 20 or 40 MB were delivered. Unlike the ENIAC, the first computer of only 3 square roots managed per second, the Macintosh SE 24 times faster with 72 square per second.

The memory expansion via four 30POL SIMM socket and not exceed 4 MB.

On the Macintosh SE running Mac OS systems from version 2.0 to 7.5.5 and Minix.

In 1989, cost of the Mac SE in the dual- floppy configuration DM 6400, DM 7600 with hard disk at all The last remaining stocks were brought as a student version for DM 1200 to the people. Successor of the SE was the Macintosh Classic, which is also a Motorola 68000/8 possessed.
