Well, I'll tell you. The SE analogue board should fit in and attach exactly the way a Plus board does. According to Larry Pina's book, the only difference is the v-synch circuitry, which is improved over the Plus (puts an IC on the board). In fact, that's the reason I even thought about the SE board, because it fixed everything that was wrong with the Plus and earlier. As far as modification, it looked like the logic board connector was the only thing I needed to change. That and relocate the power switch and socket to correspond with the earlier configuration. The SE moves some stuff around on the board, but it should all still fit inside the Plus case without any changes. As for time, it would be a work in progress in my spare time. Not really trying to make a FrankenMac, more like a Six-Million-Dollar-Mac (I can make it better than it was ...). I know less about the Classic, just assumed if the SE fixed the Plus problems, then the Classic must have fixed the SEs. If any of this is harder than I've summarized above, then I probably won't do it. Thanks,
