Apple introduced the Macintosh Plus on January 16, 1986. The Macintosh Plus has an 8 MHz 68000 processor and an internal 800K floppy disk drive. It supports up to 4 MB of RAM. The Plus is a significant improvement over the previous compact Macs primarily due to the addition of the SCSI bus. Previous Macs did not have SCSI, thus making it more difficult to find a suitable external hard drive able to connect through the drive port, the printer port, or the modem port. These drives are considerably slower (as much as 4 times slower) than external SCSI hard drives. The Macintosh Plus is a very important computer in the history of the Apple Computers. It set up many of the standards that Apple followed for over a decade going forward.
