Macintosh Plus

<p>The Macintosh Plus computer is the third model in the <a href="/facts/Mac_(computer)/8GhnXTK0">Macintosh line</a>, introduced on January 16, 1986, two years after the <a href="/facts/Macintosh_128K/oXlQGVpX">original Macintosh</a> and a little more than a year after the <a href="/facts/Macintosh_512K/sDmhk0cn">Macintosh 512K</a>, with a price tag of US$2,599. As an evolutionary improvement over the 512K, it shipped with 1 MB of RAM standard, expandable to 4 MB, and an external <a href="/facts/SCSI/pxXulrBr">SCSI</a> peripheral bus, among smaller improvements. Originally, the computer's case was the same beige color as the original Macintosh, <a href="/facts/Pantone/YtAH76ju">Pantone</a> 453; however, in 1987, the case color was changed to the long-lived, warm gray "Platinum" color. It is the earliest Macintosh model able to run <a href="/facts/Classic_Mac_OS/I5fQq44K">System Software 5</a>, <a href="/facts/System_6/5hKYcxEV">System 6</a>, and <a href="/facts/System_7/IwLKo2sX">System 7</a>, up to System 7.5.5, but not System 7.5.2.
