Hello 68k'ers
I have a new (old) plaything in the form of a LC475.
I have decided to upgrade this venerable old lady as far as she will go......problem is I don't actually know how far that is!!!!
As of today I have got this far with the upgrade:
Remove LC040 CPU and fit full 040 with FPU
Alter resistors on M/B to overclock from 25Mhz to 33Mhz
Add 32Mb RAM to the 4Mb onboard = 36Mb
Swap internal 160Mb HDD for 4.3Gb Hdd
Add 10Mbit ethernet card and get iCab 2.9.9 browser working for WWW access
Add external CD drive
Swap 100Mb external HDD for 4.3Gb HDD
Upgrade OS from 7.1 to 7.6
I would like to upgrade the VRAM from 512k to 1Mb if anybody has the VRAM chips to do this please drop me a line.
I would welcome any suggestions as to how i could further upgrade this machine. As I mentioned it's just a play thing with no critical use required of it at all.....I could do almost anything to make it go faster/bigger/wider/taller etc....etc...etc... I'm sure you all get the picture.....what should I do next????
thanks
Phil
