Macintosh IIcx
Desktops1989Uncommon
The IIcx offered the expandability of the Mac II in a smaller, quieter case with three NuBus slots instead of six. It was the choice of designers and publishers who needed expansion without the full footprint of the IIfx. Introduced at the same time as the IIci, it was positioned as the more affordable professional option.
