As far as I understand it a Mac LC IS a Mac II. > It's just been stripped down to make it cheaper and uses a 68020. As such it The LC is not a II. That's why it's called the LC and not a IILC. The si is a II and that's why it's called a IIsi. The LC can't have a NuBus slot, one of the features that distinguishes the IIs. Admittedly, the line is blurred, as the LC is modular which makes it the only non-II modular Mac. Although it uses a 68020, it doesn't permit the use of a PMMU, also a feature that currently distinguishes Mac IIs and so won't ever support VM or A/UX. -- Scott Herzinger scotth@crl.labs.tek.com Computer Research Lab, Tektronix, Inc.
