I'll elaborate further on how this came to pass.

About two months ago on ebay I spotted a color classic in "non-working order"

I won it for $30. The guy lived down the road from me and offered to drop it off. Nice.

I met him with my son in tow to carry the keyboard and mouse. When I reached for my

wallet to pay him, he said don't worry about it! And gave it to me for FREE!

The unit itself looks brand new! I went straight the board and there was

no RAM, VRAM and leaking caps.

It sat in the cupboard and put the word out for the mystic upgrade option.

Got a response from Byrd and he was going to post a LC575 board up to me for nada.

I felt a swap would be better and hope that sometime soon he gets the 4GB ext SCSI drive!

Did it have much RAM on it - was the lack of VRAM in the slots a problem?

I think maybe 8MB, the rest I had lying around just waiting to go mystic!

I have never soldered, though if I do, I will look at the 640x480 mod.

It just seemed easier for me to change a couple of numbers

Another thing I'd like to do is get that faceplate sorted...
