I think if you compare the 2 machines by their processor you will find that you have much more respect for the Classic.
originally sold for(1990):US$999, US$1499
For a 68000 machine, the classic runs pretty awesome!
other then the fact that it has no PDS slot. ITs a 68000 machine that is optimized to the hilt.
- its pretty quick(for a 680nothing), and has the nifty ability to boot from rom! -- and it was pretty cheap.
originally sold for(1991): US$1900, US$2400
I feel that the Classic II was not a good value(even then), for a 68030 machine.
Even when it was released, had to of been slightly dissapointing.
i mean it didn't even have a PDS slot like the LC-1 or LC-2!!! or color external video port…
Had a Mic in… a super value added feature?
other 68030 machines that had already been sold by apple to this point in time.
