Someone hacked a Mac mainboard into a PS/2 model 25, one with a color CRT. Most of the Model 25's were 8086 CPU with greyscale MCGA graphics, color MCGA was optional. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_System/2 Curiously, the Model 25 board was almost exactly the same width as the Mac's board, so very little chassis modding was required. The most complex part was adapting the power and video connections to work with the Mac board. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
