Macintosh IIvi

   A stripped-down version of Macintosh IIvx, Mac IIvi was sold in Europe. It has no FPU and only 16Mhz processor. Because it wasn't popular (memory expansions were expensive and with 4MB of RAM it was not fast) it was discontinued 4 months after release. Memory expansions were expensive - the only non overpaid option was 1MB expansion, giving 5MB of RAM. This allowed to run System 7.1 flawlessly and work with some basic office applications.

My unit comes from technical college where was used as teaching aid and typewriter. It runs Mac OS 7.1 with CD-ROM extension. The 2x CD-ROM still reads CDs well! The hard disk, made by Quantum, is in a good shape.
