Platform: Apple IIGS; Form Factor: 50-pin slot card; Speed: 7—15 MHz; Cache: 16, 32, or 64 KB (8, 16, or 32 KB data, 8, 16, or 32 KB tag) DMA compatible: Yes; Upgradeable: Yes; The accelerator consists of the CPU WDC 65C816 running at most at 15 MHz. A cache divided into 32 KB "data" and 32 KB "tag". The result is an average 4x performance ...
Essentially a miniaturized Apple IIe computer on a card (using the Mega II chip from the Apple IIGS), it allowed the Macintosh to run 8-bit Apple IIe software through hardware emulation, with an option to run at roughly double the speed of the original IIe (about 1.8 MHz). However, the video output was emulated in software, and, depending on ...
An Apple M1 processor. The M1 is a system on a chip fabricated by TSMC on the 5 nm process and contains 16 billion transistors. Its CPU cores are the first to be used in a Mac processor designed by Apple and the first to use the ARM instruction set architecture. It has 8 CPU cores (4 performance and 4 efficiency), up to 8 GPU cores, and a 16 ...

A clock/calendar did not become standard in the Apple II line of computers until 1986 with the introduction of the Apple IIGS. Although many productivity programs as well as the ProDOS operating system implemented time and date functions, users would have to manually enter this information every time they turned the computer on.
GS/OS is an operating system developed by Apple Computer for its Apple IIGS personal computer. It provides facilities for accessing the file system, controlling input/output devices, loading and running program files, and a system allowing programs to handle interrupts and signals. It uses ProDOS as its primary filing system.
