In 1986, the Macintosh 512Ke was released as an enhanced version of the Mac 512K, addressing the lack of memory in the original Mac.
The 512Ke served as a lower-cost alternative to the Macintosh Plus, offering an 8MHz 68000 processor, 512k RAM, and an 800KB floppy drive.
The Macintosh 512Ke featured an all-in-one case, a 9-inch monochrome display, and the ability to be used as an AppleShare server.
Apple's confusing naming convention continued with the Macintosh 512Ke, also being sold as the Macintosh ED and Macintosh 512K/800 in different markets.
