(Or at least the price etc) Ok, It has 10MB o' RAM and I haven't checked for a daughterboard yet, (It's in sechelt I'm not.) It will arrive here in two weeks and 3 days. Blah blah blah OS 7.1 Upgrading to 7.5.5 OR 7.5.3 OR 7.5 on arrival, already have OSes on Diskette.

I got it for $35.00 CDN.

1) ADB CD-ROM drives (or hard drives, for that matter) don't exist. ADB is for keyboards, mice, gamepads, etc...it's far too slow for any *real* data transfer. You'll need SCSI for the Color Classic.

4x external SCSI CD ROM drive on eBay:

You won't be able to use an ADB->USB adapter to use USB devices on an ADB Mac. Those adapters are for using ADB devices on USB Macs. Dig?
