Macintosh IIx
The Macintosh IIx was introduced by Apple in 1988 and was an improved version of the Macintosh II . The Motorola 68020 CPU and 68881 FPU were replaced by a 68030 CPU and 68882 FPU, each clocked at 16 MHz . It also got a 1.44 MB floppy disk drive instead of the previous 800 KB drive.
The original price of the IIx was 7,769 or US $ 9,300 for a 40MB hard drive version. Like its predecessor, the Mac IIx had a 0.25 KB L1 cache , a 16 MHz bus (which corresponded to the CPU speed) and supported max. System 7.5.5.
The IIx was the second of three Macintosh models which, in this case, had 6 NuBus slots. The last one was the Macintosh IIfx .
Apple's code names for the IIx included "Spock" and "Stratos". Support and replacement parts for the device ended on August 31, 1998.
