Saw this NIB on EBAY recently - it says its a Color Classic 32mhz accelerator with FPU - MMXL99CC32-FPU
Is this the same card as https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/cloning-the-micromac-mmxl99-lc-lcii-cc.39114/ ?
I couldn't find a reference to a CC specific version (all are batched with...
I've been looking for one of these "turn the pizza box into a PRO workstation" for years
So behold - a magnificent abomination of engineering - the MicroQue Macintosh LC!
I am somewhat baffled by what I have here - I can't find a single reference image or article about this other than another...
I am setting up an 840av as my daily driver and looking for a video card that will give me the best, snappy performance in a system 7.6 environment.
Happened across an auction for a Thunder II 1360 - anybody have any data on where this card fits on the spectrum :)
Has anybody gotten System 7 working on a Rasberry Pi lately?
Found this great article / video on the process:

To put into my new Nutshell Case
https://www.etsy.com/shop/NutshellCases
Excited to start on this...
Starting off a thread with this picture that was taken in ~2013 when I had gotten back into collecting.
My "white whale" was always an 840av, couldn't find one without broken plastics or components.
So over a year I put together a stack of 4 "donor" 840avs from craigslist, ebay, forum, etc...
I've posted bits and pieces before, but this is my original LC's "final resting place" after digging it out of my parents attic and upgrading w/a presto plus!
Then came the real addiction - collecting 68k games! A picture below and my favorites - anybody see anything that brings them back...
Just saw this on EBAY:

Anybody have insight into what exactly we're looking at?
I'm sure some of you have seen my games thread in the Trading Post (aka "I will buy your 68k mac games!") but I wanted to start a section here to help me keep track of the 68k games that were a huge part of my first Macintosh experience.
I've recently moved and hopefully will be pulling out...
The Mac LC maxes out at 512k VRAM
Is this a hardware limitation or noted as there weren't larger single VRAM simms available for the original LC?
EG - there's a 768k VRAM simm (labeled for the radius pivot board) dirt cheap on EBAY ->...
I'm sure this has been covered 100x before but I can't find any clear threads - maybe somebody else has a link handy?
I use a Windows 7 desktop as my daily
I bought a USB 1.44mb floppy drive
I use HFVExplorer to read / copy to / from 1.44mb floppy...
I am 90% sure that this is a dangerous sign of my budding senility, so reader beware.
But I'm wondering how I could go about fitting an LCD panel into an 12" Apple RGB monitor (The LC's monitor "mate").
Like literally pull the CRT and guts out of a 12" RGB and stick in a comparable LCD that...
After an extensive search I finally tracked down a guy who had a Sonnet Presto Plus card, struck a deal and it just arrived!
In reading other threads on this board Sonnet's support has emailed drivers etc, I've reached out to them but wondered if anybody had the drivers handy for 7.5.5 or 7.6.1...
I've gotten my hands on a DayStar Turbo 040, ideally I'd like to use this in an original Macintosh LC.
I seem to recall that when I actually got the LC ~20 years ago that there was a special LC PDS adapter that would allow you to fit the Daystar Turbos in, and this seems to be backed up by...
I just picked up a large bag of IIx ram.
I'd like to test the Simms and figure out size etc
Problem is I do not have a IIx :)
I do, however have an lc and LC II - would they work in that?
I've heard there is a 10mb limit for the lc so if the Simms are larger than the 2 slots allow I'm out...
Just picked up one of these guys:
http://www.forcedperfect.net/hardware/cards/applepowermacintoshupgradecard/
It states that it's a 66mhz 601 chip which "runs at twice the original 68040 processor speed of the computer it is installed in"
I'm missing something - it's @ 66mhz, but on an 840av...
My original Mac was a Macintosh LC
I've recently got one going up full speed and wondering if anybody has upgraded with a Speedster040, Presto Plus, or similar accelerator
eg http://www.micromac.com/products/speedster040.html
or...
