I've got a color classic with a 575 board in it and haven't done the video mod (no 640x480 yet).
Since I have a comm slot ethernet board, it occurred to me to try and find a video card for the LC style PDS slot on the 575 board that might fit. Wouldn't that be nice, a Color Classic with a 68040, ethernet, AND external video!
I found an LC Radius Pivot card, but it is too long to fit nicely; it is held up on the side opposite the PDS connector as it rests on top of the RAM (or VRAM, I forget which).
What would solve that problem nicely is about a half inch PDS slot extension - just a straight pass-through that raises the PDS connection up a bit. It appears that at that height it will still fit (barely) inside the MB housing, and nicely leave some clearance for the new battery that is sitting there.
Anyone tried to build something like that?
