Seems like a RevB to me, I'll be able to stuff it with HDs and use it as a file server for my InsanelyWind projects. I can make a 68Kmla account on the FTP part of it if people wa…

Mac Classic corpse — #6

A circuit diagram for the analogue board of the Mac Classic would be a great help in tracing voltages. I can find one for the Mac SE on the web but not the Classic. Any suggestion…
