Well, Britney is certainly living up to expectations...for a Mac Classic named Britney at least!!!
There was a group accusing Britney Spears of lip-syncing. While I'm not sure if it's true or not, this Classic will be lip-syncing in a way for now. The analog board I chose for the machine doesn't want to utilize its internal speaker. Therefore, external speakers are in store. (They'll sound better anyway if I want to have this computer play her songs...)
To quote the introduction to Britney's cover of "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones, "I'm not picky...I just know what I want." The RAM boards are certainly this way in this Mac!!! Sad Macs aplenty with the first cards I tried!!!
There's also the ADB keyboard. The AppleDesign I want to use has problems...from the bottom of its broken heart...I mean ADB connector. Therefore, a donor mushy board has been placed into service to give it the part it needs (the board). I'm working on this as we speak.
While this Mac hasn't been toxic, it certainly is getting stronger. It drives me crazy and I just can't sleep...I'm too excited because I'm in too deep (to this repair). Maybe I'll get lucky with this computer and have the keyboard work on the first attempt, but if it doesn't work, don't hold it against me!! I'll simply say oops and do it again, repairing it the right way, because sometimes it will run...oh, and I have this external hard drive; if it were IDE, it would be a slave for the internal, but instead I have to deal with SCSI...
(ok, if you got all the references in the above paragraph, you clearly listened to the same music I did circa 2000).
