    @3lectr1cPPC @Byrd I got the Mainstreet card in and it had a 750 instead of a 740! So I soldered a 750S on, and am overclocking it. The IBM PPC documents for what I installed say 2.0V or so, the Motorola ones (what was on there) is 2.6V.

    Macintosh Color Plus weird colors

    If there's a button then you press it If not you need an external degausser, which I have no experience with. Someone else said it might be the yoke
