help Apple Macintosh Classic II FAQ
What processor and memory does the Macintosh Classic II have?
The Macintosh Classic II uses a 16 MHz Motorola 68030 processor and shipped with 2 MB of memory. Apple lists two 30-pin SIMM slots and a maximum of 10 MB of RAM. [Apple's Classic II specifications provide these figures](https://support.apple.com/en-us/112201).
Does the Macintosh Classic II have a color screen?
No. It has a built-in 9-inch monochrome CRT with a 512 by 342 display area, so it is a black-and-white compact Mac rather than a color model. [Apple lists the monochrome display and resolution](https://support.apple.com/en-us/112201).
What storage connections does the Macintosh Classic II use?
The Classic II uses SCSI for its internal hard drive and has a DB-19 floppy port for its 1.44 MB drive. It also includes an ADB port for classic Apple keyboards and mice, not USB. [Apple documents the SCSI, floppy, and ADB ports](https://support.apple.com/en-us/112201).
Which Mac operating systems work on the Classic II?
It originally shipped with System 7.0.1 and Apple lists support through Mac OS 7.6.1. The machine is therefore suited to classic Mac software from the 1990s rather than current applications. [Apple lists its supported Mac OS versions](https://support.apple.com/en-us/112201).
