This is a rare one in Holland, I believe Performa 200s where only sold in America.Anyway, it was offered for free. I phoned the guy offering it, and he says "well, it may not work". No problem, I thought: maybe a new HD, maybe a new PRAM battery. So I hauled it up, and when I left with it he says: "Hope you'll get it to work soon!". Not much chance, cause the entire motherboard turned out to be missing...  oh well... it's free, and it's a rare beast 'round here. Maybe a LCII motherboard will fit... --

No, an LCII motherboard won't fit. Not only does it use a different form factor, but it also doesn't have the correct port for the power/video/sound cable that goes to the analog board. A board from a Classic or Classic II, however, will fit.Nice score though! -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

hahaha...well next time you all go mac hunting... learn a lesson from tuuur, and check to see if the motherboard is there, you can do this by identifying whether or not is has ports
