Awesome, thanks

So i've been rolling with the CC as pictured here since last fall, and I have to admit, I'd like the picture to be the right ratio. If I performed the VGA mod, does anyone have any idea if that would allow me to stretch the picture more horizontally? Being that the Mac TV board shows 640x480...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I haven't used a SCSI2SD yet...how did you power the SCSI2D after removing the molex connector? I don't see any wires going from the connector pads to the 550 connector ?

Well done. I love this. 

Do these tend to go bad? I have two that came with my 2400, and neither of them work. It's crossed my mind that it's the cable (I only have one cable); however, if I have Norton Drivelight installed I see a floppy icon show up in the upper left when inserting a disk sometimes. I've taken the...

It really is a case of "why not?"  In usage it does feel snappier than the stock CC, but I also have a 550 board feels faster than the TV board, but it also has 36 megs of RAM (and a faster bus speed, so it should be faster!)  But I hooked up the original NES for some retro gaming fun, as well...

i've continued tweaking knobs, and I've got things more useable for now. I think if I shrank the vertical height even more things would be a normal ratio but that's more black bars than I want for now. It seems if I expand the horizontal width farther the horizontal bow doesn't affect the picture.

Well I improvised a crt adjustment tool with a wooden chopstick. I've gotten things much better, but the horizontal bow (PB) adjustment doesn't seem to make any difference, so things are stuck with this pinched middle picture.

I've read a couple forum posts from years ago claiming that a Mac TV logic board works in a Color Classic.  And that the screen res will be 640x480 with no VGA mod necessary. I was skeptical, but came across a Mac TV board for sale and wanted to find out. So I did, and the rumors are true...

I love this idea. I don't know how it would be implemented, but I still like the idea. Gathering scattered information from different eras of the web is part of this hobby, trying to figure out what is what and where it's drivers are. 

I've recently acquired a Newton 2000 and it didn't come with a serial dongle. I thought I could install some software over infrared, but my PowerBook 1400 does not do IrDA according to Low-end Mac.  Can anyone confirm this? Launching the 'Infrared' control panel in 8.6 says 'Not available'. I...

This is probably a dumb question. But I just want to make sure. I've got a color classic running 7.5, and a PowerBook 1400 running 8.6. My file transfer method is usually modern computer-> compact flash into 1400 -> and then serial cable localtalk to color classic, (or for some bigger...

I think so, but that requires massive amounts of hydrogen peroxide, and I still had some developer cream. Not only that, I think your geographic location affects how well it works, I certainly wouldn't have been able to do this here in the great northwoods in, say, november.

i've been...meaning to do this, so here's a couple links I have saved: http://www.mac-forums.com/apple-notebooks/109101-powerbook-1400-battery.html https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.sys.mac.portables/kcT1Uf2j3Ac Hope this helps!

Just wanted to share a success story. I've retrobright 2 other cases using the salon developer creme, covered in cling wrap in the sun. (admittedly inspired by the 8 Bit Guy on youtube). While thing have gotten brighter, I've had some trouble with uneven coloring and some marble-like texture. ...

Ha, I sent him a PM with the exact same idea last night. I also have a 550 upgraded CC.

Very cool! I've never seen one CC II, much less..3!

Ah, the DCaDftMF3e, a volume we all have on the shelf ;-) This reminds me, what would be a good way to benchmark compare the 550 logic board vs this card in a Color Classic? I mean, my standard benchmark would basically be launch Marathon, but I'm not sure that even runs at 512x384. I can't...

Alex, thank you for your detective work. The ads from MacAddict are fantastic. I have some results to share! The short version: the card seems to work, NO extensions needed. I've tried the 2 different allegro extensions I've found (with handy '030!' icons and all), and both system 7.1. and...

Here's a couple pics of the card:
