Hi All, I do not see any reference to the modification of the motherboard on either of thoese two links above. Both methods modify the analog board only. Both are very similar to each other. The only differences between the two methods is location of the soldering more or less. I would...

Hi All, Both mods above are for the ANALOG BOARD of the CC to be modded. In both links above, the LC575 motherboard is left intact I think. There appears to be two methods of modding the ANALOG board of the CC. Am I missing something here? Regards, ed...

Hi All, I recently acquired a CC and an LC575 motherboard. I read and absorbed all I could and am now running a CC Mystic with an ACard SCSI-IDE bridge CF boot drive using Mac OS 8.1. However, I now have the itch to increase the resolution of the CC to 640x480. There are some conflicting...

Hi All, Sadly, the 512K VRAM does not work properly on my CC. When it boots up, I get white scan lines on the lower half of the screen. The CC recognizes the extra VRAM as I can now go into the control panel to change the number of colours to "thousands". However, this does now remove the...

Hi All, I am considering to get a surface mount hotair workstation from eBay. These things are selling for about $85. This setup will allow for you to safely remove surface mounted caps and chips. Regards, ed...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. The reason why I asked this question is because I am planning for the future should I want to upgrade the mobo to a LC 575 which can support the 512K VRAM SIMM. PS: I paid $86US for my bare and plain CC from eBay. I noticed that average prices are generally around...

Hi All, I recently purchased a Mac Colour Classic. Everything tests fine but I would like to expand the VRAM from the current 256K that is soldered on the mobo. Currently there is no VRAM in the VRAM upgrade slot. Will the CC boot up and run properly if I put in a 512K VRAM module in this...

Hi All, After much searching, I managed to snag on of those 'blade' adapters from eBay for $5. Just curious though but any ideas as to why on earth Apple chose to use of these 'non standard' adapters instead of just going with regular scsi/power/audio cables like everyone else? Thanks again...

Hi Dennis, Thanks for your reply! Any idea as to what the CD-Rom connector thing is called and where I might get one? I imagine that it would be very difficult in procuring and that SCSI external (although less asthetically pleasing) may be best alternative? Regards...ed..

Hi All, I just purchased my first MAC: a Performa 630! However, it does NOT have a CD-Rom built in. I have an extra internal SCSI CD-Rom from an old PC but how do I connect it to the Performa 630? FYI, at the back of the CD-Rom bay appears some kind of special SCSI and power and audio...
