That is an amazing find!

I don't mind cutting up the inside of the machine, but it's unlikely I will find a 575 analog board, and I'm not really looking for one at this point. Glad your cut came out ok! I'll probably be starting my project in a month or so. A friend of mine is doing the same mod at the same time, so...

Hi Jack, Here are some notes that may help...   On a working Color Classic with its original motherboard installed, download and unstuff the following file: http://colourclassicfaq.com/files/gusdtmpl.sit   Ensure you have a copy of ResEdit available, along with the gusdtmpl file you downloaded...

Hey Jack, I am running 7.6.1 but I believe you can go to 8 (and maybe 8.1?- wil have to check). You need to do the ResEdit mod before you boot up using the lc575 board, as otherwise it gives you a bus error. I had a patched system on my external drive and regular system on my internal drive...

Thanks, Bunsen, this looks amazing! If I do https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/26510-color-classic-vga-mod-the-correct-way/, so I still have to do http://colourclassicfaq.com/mobo/mystic.shtml#Q2.1.13?

Hi everyone, I have a working Color Classic, have installed an LC575 motherboard, and ResEdited the system file so the Color Classic boots ok. Everything works great.    However, I want to modify the hardware so that I don't have to edit the system file in the future (it's nothing to ResEdit the...

No worries. Good luck either way!

I have a PDS Mac network card. I'm in Halifax - where are you?

BTW I have Silverlining 5.7, FWB Hard Disk Toolkit 4.5.2, FWB HDT PE, various Drive Setups and Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5 (patched to support 3rd party drives). I don't see an option in any of these to set the sector size. Am I looking in the wrong spot? The drive did work previously, and this...

Apple Drive Setup 1.9.2 says it can't initialize my external 4 GB Seagate ST15150N SCSI HD because it can't initialize a drive with non-512 Byte sectors. How do I set it to have 512 byte sectors? OS 9.2.2, beige G3 minitower  

Darn. Ok, thanks for the info. Love your avatar - you should send me that gear :)

Hi all,   I have a 5 port USB 2.0 PCI card I’m trying to make work in my beige G3/233 desktop. My Mac is running Mac OS 9.2.1. I got the USB card used with no packaging, manuals or software/CDs.   The only markings on the USB card is the NEC logo with the part # SD-NECU2-5E1i. That appears to...

Thanks! I was really liking the Quicksilver & MDD models, but I *lurve* my 2 beige G3s. #Nostalgia

Do you know what version # that is?
