Thanks for the feedback guys, that was not as encouraging as I had hoped for but its nice to know before I fork over the cash for this setup.

Here is the IDE to compact flash adapter that I planned on using the startech CF2X2IDE25 which would allow 2 compact flash drives on a single board and still use the the acard 7720U...

So johnklos, to confirm this you have tried using the Acard 7720u? and that will not support any compact flash card over 2GB in your Q605? I had planned to do something similar using a fast 300X 16 or 32GB compact flash card. I want it to be fast so I can take this out and put it on a modern...

That is exactly the way I feel about it LCGuy. There are so many mods possible that would be fun to do but then you lose scope of what the original goal was. I do want the authentic feel of my first LC machine, like you did with yours. I think I am becoming like most around here that have...

I think I found an LC 475 that will fulfill the need to mod out the pizza box form factor style machine. While swapping the motherboard out into the LC case would work it really becomes a totally different machine. I plan to keep the LC stock with memory maxed out and ethernet, no proc upgrade...

Thanks everyone for all the feedback. The main thing I wanted to stick with was the form factor so I am open to options. The funny thing is after I find all the parts, upgrade cards, memory, that I would want in this thing with shipping, etc I would probably have as much money wrapped up in it...

Thanks for the great advice Charlieman, now that I think about it trying to mod the original LC that far probably wouldn't be worth all the effort. I think I will look to pickup an LC475 and use that as my starting point. I will check out the other forums on the SCSI related mods also. I...

Hello, This is my first post here and I had no idea that there were people out that that still have a passion for older Mac systems, what a great resource this is. I just wanted some input on some ideas for my LC. I know I could find something out there with much more power very cheap but the...
