First off, thank you to all who have given me eBay advice. I've had to delay some of my auctions because it looks like a few SE machines may be going under the kinfe...
Secondly, I have a few questions about some compact Mac curiosities that I've come across. In a group of seven Classics, I decided I'd test them on Speedometer just for statistical purposes. One of them claimed it had a 256K ROM. The others all had 512Ks. There was no real speed difference, but Classics are supposed to have 512K ROMs, right? The 256K one had a ROM disk (the command-option-x-o one with 6.0.3) so that wasn't a difference. Some of the Classics actually got beaten by an SE FDHD on Speedometer...that isn't supposed to happen either, right? Yesterday I took a 20SC drive apart, expecting to find a 20MB Quantum unit. I was shocked when I saw a big Winchester drive (made by Seagate, who I don't think Apple used as a supplier) sitting in there. Do 20SCs usually have Winchesters in them, or was that some kind of mod? I'll have to crack open my other 20SC case, which I know was already modded at one time because there is an 80MB drive in it. Finally, has anyone else noticed that there are two CRT suppliers for compacts? One is Samsung and one is Clinton. They seem to be interchangeable, but the Samsungs seem a little bluer to me. Maybe it's just my eyes aging (sitting in front of computers all day == why I have glasses). It also seems that there are two types of Classic analog boards, one that takes the older SE/Plus monitors and one that takes the newer Classic/Classic II monitors. Hope someone can help with these questions that have been nagging me for years. Scott __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
