I have a Macintosh Performa 550 motherboard sitting around, probably hasn't been turned on since 2004 according to the person who gave it to me.
I also have a Macintosh Classic (M1420 RevB) which is probably one of my least favorite compact macs because of how it was released at the wrong time... Unfortunately it's diffcult to track down old Macintosh boards and I cannot find a Classic II board. But I also believe we can do somewhat better...
All that I would need would be an edge connector pinout for the 550 board and probably a 9" Monochrome/color CRT with an RGB input or whatever. I also need to fix the 550 board as it is battery bombed, luckily not too major.
I know this sounds like an absolutely outlandish thing to do, but why not? If I'm honest, the Classic feels like an overglorified spreadsheet machine.
