Byrd..... Thank you for your post. If I had a schematic of a Color Classic analog board, I could figure some of this out for my self, but I can not seem to find or buy any docume…
As I said, I've got a couple of Mac Pluses with the model number M0001AP. For interests sake, I also have a couple with the model number M0001A, yet they all have 240v PSU's (which…

That would be great. As long as they are model number on the units themselves and not variations on them. Like the IIcx is M5650 but the model in the serial is M5658 because the ha…
I've had a couple of M0001AP's, they are Mac Pluses with 240v PSU's. I can take a photo if you would like?
Also, there is a Macintosh Classic with a different model number which h…

Interesting, they wouldn't be working together/cooperatively like Radius Rockets do under RocketShare. Never tried it, but I'm all but certain two Rockets could not co-exist peacef…

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…
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…

Let me start off by saying I am not a computer guy...... So this is probably why no one has done this before. They know it will not work!

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?

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…

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 …

Both are also quite rare (fewer than 150,000 Cubes ever made)...I'm not going to lie; not the biggest fan of FrankenMac-ing the rare ones at this point.

3) I think the Trinitron tubes had a unique curve to them, so even if you find a 10" CRT, if it ain't a Sony it may still not fit the bezel perfectly (and yet s…
