Recapping Classic II boards is a pain because of the way they are spaced close to other parts ...it is mostly the surface mount ones that do.
This brings up an interesting question. By today's standards, there is really no point in owning a Classic II for any real work. It is essentially a stunted SE/30, which has neither the same power or capacity. Both it and it's sister Classic were giant steps backward.

So the question is, besides the form factor, is there any reason not to just get an SE or SE/30 and relegate the Classic series to the history books? The SE series was the last of the easy to repair compacts, and for the trouble the Classics cause, I'm thinking the last best EOL for the compacts to maintain modern functionality.
