Comments
The Macintosh IIx, codenamed "Spock" and "Stratos", was introduced in September 1988 as an incremental update of the Macintosh II. Apple replaced the 16 MHz 68020 processor and 68881 FPU on the Macintosh II with a 16 MHz 68030 processor and 68882 FPU on the Macintosh IIx. The IIx is the first Mac to include an FDHD (Floppy Disk, High Density) controller.
