It's probably dead. Not kidding. That was the model I owned; absolute heat pig. I'd start with the PSU, you can also check the caps on the board. Most likely is that the U3 memor…

Hmmm... Well I am not sure why anyone would remove the serial and FCC label. The FCC label I can see happening for some reason. But the serial. Its not easy to remove without resi…

Where are the ROMs? I think it's not a prototype. I think it's a machine that has been through too many repairs and parts changes.

So found this computer in the neighbors garbage today only thing missing is hdd. However when I plug it in and press power button I get nothing. This is my first time touching one…

I doubt this is a prototype given that all of the stuff that is missing/different wasn't changed between the original and the 512k. It seems like this poor 512 just happens to be m…

Transplanting something like this requires considerably more work and modification than the VGA mod on a CC board.  CCs are not that rare and you could always keep a junker/spare C…

Any other differences from a production unit?

So what I thought was a junker 512k might be a prototype. I started to strip it for parts, but I noticed some weird things. For starters, both the bucket and the bezel stickers a…

Have you considered taking the 575 components and mounting them in a custom case? That way you can make the front flat to mount an LCD? Your woodworking buddy could probably make s…

No clue. Since they are two different brands maybe the driver software won't conflict with each other (if you run one at a time). Any reason you need 2 DOS cards in one machine?

Can it work? I have a Reply card in my Q800's PDS slot and I am seeing Orange DOS card on eBay (nubus) that will fit in my Mac.  Can 2 or more DOS card work together?

the guy who figured out the 640x480 mod, I have no idea how he figured it out. Maybe it came from an internal apple employee, or repair guy. Hard to say. 

Apple just did not make them public. They exist. The service guide is just for replacing parts - which is what is the most economical. The developer or technical notes may have mor…

Thanks to all for the help.  I am going to do the software patch and roll in a 575 board with 128MBs of RAM, a crystal upgrade, and a full 68040 (is this the correct one?) CPU.  I …

Gez!  How can I or anyone figure out a *real* 640 X 480 mod for the Color Classic then?  I think if i understood the analog board, I could beef up some components and make a safe u…

So, I am still chicken about doing the VGA mod to my Color Classic.  But I am OK doing the software mod that will let me put a over clocked 575 logic board in my Color Classic. So…

Hi... I need a schematic for a color classic analog board.  Where can I down load one or buy one? Thanks jack

Schmoburger.... Point well taken.  I restore old vacuum tube motion picture amplifiers for a hobby 1930s-1950s equipment.  I keep them all original.  I would prefer to drop in a …
