My LC II is my main Macintosh even though I have a better Mac IIci because
the LC II has the Apple IIe Card.
I use a Apple 12" Monochrome Display (M1050), but my AppleColor
High-Resolution RGB Monitor (M1297) works on it as well. Screen resolution
is 640x480x256 (I think).
There is 4MB on the board and two SIMM slots which can hold up to 4MB in
each slot. That equals 12MB but the computer will only address 10MB (some
weird Apple memory scheme I believe is related to 24-bit addressing).
I have several cards for the single PDS slot: the Apple IIe Card, Ethernet
network cards, and a video card for a large (17-19 inch I think) monochrome
monitor.
I think the last version of MacOS it can run is 7.5.5 because the ROMs are
not 32-bit clean. I use MacOS 7.1 with Update 3.0.
You can get an older version of ClarisWorks very cheap. You may wish to
purchase an external SCSI CD-ROM drive. I can give you the web addresses
of several vendors who sell used older Macintosh stuff.

This is off-topic, so please reply directly. Thanks.
My son was just given a Mac LC II without a monitor, but
including a keyboard and mouse. I am not a Mac user or
owner (until now), so I have no idea whatsoever to be looking
for in a replacement monitor. Is the LC II a B&W or Color
computer (I don't have the foggiest :-)? Help.
The computer has a 160MB hard drive, a floppy drive, and what
appears to be one memory SIMM (with four big chips on it, so
I'm guessing 4MB at most).
Cheers. Kevin
