Awesome! Thanks! So: SE (& SE/30) Classic (& CII) Pin Description Pin Description --- ----------- --- ----------- 1 Ground 1 +12 volts 2 Ground 2 +5 volts 3 Ground 3 +5 volts 4 Ground 4 VSYNC 5 Ground...

It's fine. So it's not fatal to plug an SE/30 logic board straight into a Classic II analog board, just very stupid. Looking at the pinouts for the SE that Genie Mac supplied, the Classic 14-pin list is what I was talking about, but II think the SE's 10 pins are from the removable power supply...

Super. Love to see i sent power up the grounds and vice versa... They are both 14 pin though. What do the other 4 pins on an SE do?

Yeah I really can't find any pinout info for any post-Plus compacts' analog board -> logic board connector. I can verify that an SE/30 board plugged into a Classic II chassis makes weird noises and doesn't boot at all... Hope I didn't blow anything up 8-o (no sizzling or magic smoke...

I was actually eventually thinking a SE/30 in a pretty Classic Case... You're right about the pinouts being different... If I have to build an adapter, that would be annoying.

The logic board connector is the same (looking). The ports even line up with the holes in the bucket. Any electronic reason this wouldn't work?

Does the GS have the might-as-well-be Mac GUI- GS/OS on it? The Woz edition IIgs I had 18 years ago had that. With the color and look alike GS/OS, I'd probably go with the IIgs.

Make it angle-adjustable like the Monitor II too!

Progress... in the form of gathering a bunch of the parts into the same room. The 575 board and end-connector will be perfect. Like, frighteningly perfect. Like, maybe the original Color Classic was supposed to be in the Classic II chassis perfect. All I need to do is mark where the notches...

So are those a standard 4:3 CRT just sideways? Sure looks more like 3:5 but not quite 1:2. EDIT: 640x870 is a lot closer to 3:4 than to 3:5 like I was thinking.

Cool. What directions did you follow for installing MacOS on it?

I used to use Chipmunk Basic. Programmed a simple bell system for the junior high school at which I worked in 2001. As far as I know, there's still an LCIII on a shelf in their library ringing the class bells.

You need to figure a way to hack a Zip drive into a Clipper! The disk would point up like a toaster! Zip Drives in everything!

Still technically morning somewhere... Before & After Beautiful work. (Sorry my camera doesn't focus. I'll try again with a different camera soon)

It's gorgeous. I'll post pics in the morning.

Make sure you wear a mask/respirator when you blow that thing out http://www.cdc.gov/hantavirus/pdf/HPS_Brochure.pdf I'm thinking the filth may have happened after the SE's useful life. Looks like it sat in a wet barn for a while.

I would venture to guess that the first few (hundred?) 512ke lobos were the last few 512k lobos that got Plus ROMs instead, right in the factory. Since it has a ke bucket I'd assume it's an early one.

Yeah. In spite of what the Ebay auction I sited advertised, this thing only works on 5x00 boards. So... yeah. There's that.

State of the project: Real Life is backing off a bit, so I'm getting a chance to evaluate ideas and get things in line to actually bring this to a close. Previously I was working with a Q605 board that I was going to hide under a cut down and thoroughly re-jiggered Classic II board for ports...

Pics! Congrats.
