Re: Upgrading my Color Classic

Rob, Occasionally eBay will have the back panels of the 575 up for sale. Look at Old Mac Milt for such a piece. I've found that since the back faces away from me and towards a wall, I really don't miss it that much. Of course, if you do have it exposed, then get it covered. My advice is to

Upgrading my Color Classic

Hi All, I'm looking to upgrade my Color Classics (x2). The LC550 upgrade seems nice and easy (!) - but does anyone know where I can buy a motherboard at a reasonable price? I see you can buy LC575 motherboards on ebay - but what do I do about the back panel of the computer if I install one of t

Re: OS Quandry

I have run 7.1.1, 7.5.3, 7.5.5 and 7.6.1 on my Color Classic, its got the 10mb ram, vram simm and 3.2gig or 4.3gig hard disk. No FPU. With all the OS versions I tried, it was slow, and I barely saw any speed difference between 7.6.1 and 7.1.1 while using it. 7.1.1 booted a lot faster, but once

64k ROMS in Plus Experimenting

Anybody think of a reason why putting 64k ROM chips on a Mac Plus logic board could be a problem for either the 64k Mac128/512k stock ROMs or the Plus logic board? If I recall, SCSI upgrades were being performed before the advent of the Mac Plus, so this shouldn't be an issue as the boards are
