Summary: here is the list

I finally finished version one of my list of macintosh types.
I put it together because I couldn't find any info on it at
sumex and was a little fuzzy on the different models (especially
the ones I never used).  This is arranged slightly differently
from the list that Sterling just posted.  Between the two, you'll
probably find everything you'll need.
As always, please send me any corrections or even suggestions on
how to make it more useful.

      ------------------------------------------------------------------
      KEY TO CHART:
      CPU: CPU speed in Mhz.  F=FPU (math coprocessor) built in, f= socket for 
           optional FPU, n= no socket available for FPU,  C=cache is built in.  
           c=slot for cache card, x=no slot for cache available.

      RAM: max, SIMMS on board-# of banks/SIMMS per bank
      ex:128,0-2/4=128 megs max (using 16meg SIMMS where possible), 0 megs 
                   on motherboard, 2 banks of 4 SIMMS each.

      Slots: NB=NuBus slot, PD=processor direct slot, A=accelerator slot, 
             LC=LC direct slot, SE=SE direct slot
      Video:
      COMPACT MACS: have a 9" (diag) black and white screen built in. 
                    Depending on the ROMS and slots, compact macs can 
                    have color cards and monitors installed.
      MODULAR MACS: some have a video card built in or installed at the 
                    factory.  The amount of video RAM available on the card 
                    determines the amount of color or gray shades it can 
                    display on a given monitor.
                    0K indicates main memory is used as video RAM. 
      PORTABLES: have a built in screen that is either active matrix (expensive 
                but no ghosts) or supertwist backlit LCD

      I/O: mike input/stereo or mono output,type of network support built in,
          # of ADB (keyboard) connections on CPU, standard floppy drive 
          included.

      Y=microphone input built in.  N=3rd party sound input required.
      S=stereo output, M=mono. output
      AT=appletalk only, EN=ethernet and appletalk connectors available.  
      400k=drive only reads single sided disks.  800k=drive also reads double 
      sided disks.  FDHD means drives can read 400,800, and 1.4meg mac disks, 
      as well as IBM disks.
      * earlier machines could be upgraded to FDHD with a SWIM chip upgrade.  
       Machines built after 8/89 came with FDHD instead of 800k drives.

      Lifespan: The first date is the date of the MacWorld or MacUser magazine 
      that announced the "new release".  The actual release date may be 2 
      months earlier.  The second date is the date of an article that said 
      Apple would no longer sell that model.  

      Notes on memory:
      68030's have a built in Memory Management Unit (MMU), which allows them 
      to do virtual memory under system 7.
      68020's have no memory management built in.  A PMMU (68851) can be 
      in-stalled on a II, allowing it to do virtual memory under system 7.
      68000's cannot do memory management at all.

      Mode32, available free, allows II, IIx, IIcx, and the SE/30 to do 32bit 
      addressing instead of the 24bit addressing their ROM's normally use.

      ** these CPU's only have a 16bit bus instead of a 32 bit bus.

      misc.
      I put this table together so that I could have all the information about 
      all Mac models I needed in one place instead of looking through zillions 
      of old articles and bothering salespeople.  Thanks to Jim McKay and 
      Sterling Babcock for their help with details I couldn't find.
      I intend to keep this list current as well as to fill in the blanks, 
      so please send any info or suggestions to me at:daver@uiuc.edu
