Notes

RAM expansion beyond 1 MB requires Macintosh Classic 1 MB Memory Expansion Card, which has 1 MB of additional RAM, and two SIMM connectors.

The Classic was more or less a reissue of the Mac Plus. It shipped in a newly designed case and had a large 512 kB ROM, from which it could boot. It also included the 1.4 MB "SuperDrive" floppy drive. Most found it extremely slow. It sold for $1500.
