A: Isn't the only "video mirror port" available for the 575 a rare third-party device that hackishly pressed on top of the video chip?
AFAIR, and I was checking one out on ebay recently, it's an Apple part (of that I'm pretty certain) though there may have been third parties as well, and there's a slot set aside for it (not 100% certain).

Point B seems correct.

if you Google around you'll find passing references in forum threads to people getting 800x600 out of LC 575 boards plugged into "Mystic" Color Classics
Yeah, I linked those I could find above.

when the harness has been modded for VGA
Yes, that's the crucial point. These were people who had already taken the plunge into wiring harness mods.

an LC 475 or Quadra 605 and pairing it with a nice Multisync monitor.
Course, you could stick that into the 575 case if you wanted }:) Again, much hackery involved, but it would be the relatively simple case (heh) of making room and mountings for a known-working system inside the 575, rather than mucking about with wiring and component mods to build a maybe-working system.

Opinions will of course differ as to whether this is a desirable thing to do to a working 68k. And, once you've gone that far, you might as well go the whole hog and Mini/LCD it.

Hmm, Bunsen looks suspiciously at 575 case and Quicksilver motherboard.
