Hi Everyone,
Recently I traded some older Newton stuff for a dusty Color Classic. I got the system in yesterday, and found that it was in PERFECT shape.. ;o)))) But I am a bit confused about it. First off, it came with the orginal mothboard packed outside the unit. So, I figured that was an extra. Turns out the unit has a 575 upgrade in it, ethernet and modem combo card (I think) 36 Megs of RAM and a 1 Gig drive. But the upgrade has me confused. The system on the drive was 7.6, and I wanted to install 8.0 or 8.1. But when I go to run the installation, it says "Can't run on this machine." I know that the unit has had a "Mystic" style upgrade, so shouldnt 8.0 run on it? What am I missing.....? The unit is going to make a wonderful addition to my Mac collection, and I am pretty excited about getting it up and operational. At the moment, all that is on it is the OS until I can get the machine stats figured out. Anyways, if you have an idea of what's up, please drop me a note!
