    John I dont think you understand.  Your lack of understanding and restating the same questions without end is like a horrible loop.  You have more than enough information here to cover all your questions.  Please just re read the posts and attached links provided.

    I just bought a TAM!

    the tam board IS a modified 6400/6500 board.  I have moved resistors to change the gestalt id and get the tam boot sound out of one.  Yes you can use the risers its why I mentioned it.  As in fitting the back I am not sure, but completely compatible otherwise.

    LC575 motherboard - working, but ... death chimes on any RAM installed

    If your talking celsius I dont know lol.  I use 425 F so sounds about right, just not sure if the plastic on the sockets will hold up to that.  Its why I suggested hot air gun.

    I just bought a TAM!

    you need the pci angle adapter from a 6400 or 6500, or even a 6360 should work, as mentioned on the first page. Its one of the cards mentioned like the comm slot riser card for a comm slot modem, or pci riser and 2 pic cards, one being ethernet and one being the usb card.

    PowerBook G4 classic mode with usb floppy drive..

    .sit files do work, its just drag and drop onto stuffit expander.  I do it all the time.  Download on my 2015 iMac, put onto zip drive (easier and faster for me) and expand on my color classic.

    PowerBook G4 classic mode with usb floppy drive..

    It may write floppies for 1.4, but it may fail.  Any success I had, I had to format the floppies as ms dos, leave the files compressed and uncompress on the mac to restore the resource fork for the file.

    External EZQuest Boa FireWire DVD-RW on 9.2.2

    Also some drives do need drivers.  Especially when it comes with a disk like pictured, I would almost bet its not apple supported, and the cube was in the time frame that it may not play well with 3rd party drives.

    LC575 motherboard - working, but ... death chimes on any RAM installed

    baking may do the trick, or hot air on just the areas in question.  depends on the plastic on the slots.  I have not baked a board that had plastic on it at reflow temp.

    I just bought a TAM!

    the pci risers can be from the powermacs, its the comm slot that is the hard to find, but with the pci riser and a pci ethernet your all set, that with a usb card and it with do most anything you need.  Firewire is ok I guess but not much need unless you have that one firewire iPod you want to...

    I just bought a TAM!

    Its basically a powermac 6500 with a laptop 3400 screen.  Its neat but spindler plastic so maybe ask for lots of peanuts and box inside a box packing.  I received mine with 2 breaks shipped but was pretty repairable where the breaks occurred.

    Color classic will not power on

    Its the motherboards,  look for eaten traces.  The caps by the keyboard plug have always seem to need to be redone as even alcohol cleaning and washing in the dishwasher and the board still had residue on them.  The capacitor goo is conductive and will cause issues still so whole board cleaning...
