Color Classic LC575 upgrade help

Author	Topic
option8 Starting Member USA 12 Posts	Posted - 05 Jul 2002 : 14:56:59 i've managed to get my hands on an lc575 motherboard, which i understand is the motherboard of choice to replace the CCs original mobo. i put the required system enabler 065 1.2 in the system folder (i'm running 7.6.1 on the CC now), popped the new motheboard in and rebooted. happy mac, yay! silly me. nothing on this machine is that simple... bus error. restart with extensions off. bus error. still. bleah. what do i need to do that i've missed? any ideas? is there something more to it than the system enabler file? some extension, etc, i need? ------- option8 -------
