I found a hint about changing the CC to VGA resolution with an unmodified analogue board. The result seems not to be fully satisfying, as of a black border around the used display…

I doubt it - to my understanding, no matter what you do with the sense pins or whatever, in stock form the analog board is only capable of running at 512x384. Personally, if it we…

You found it in a SKIP? :O Great score, especially for free...while I prefer the 4G myself, for a long time a lot of people said that the 3G was the best iPod they ever made. As…

Hi, my first freebie of the year - and a good one! Went with my father-in-law to a tip in Essendon, dumped our crap - checked out a skip with keyboards plastic waste etc in it - …

I'm sorry, I think my continuity tester was on the fritz. I switched to a different one that has an audible indicator and I found much more connections. All data and address bits…

Ok, I just saw that thread under the Classic Mac thread. I will read through it. Thanx for the tip off! Geo

That's great -- you're going to love that upgraded CC. You'll be able to watch Cinepak-encoded video at quite-respectable framerates. I used to have a 575 playing "Forbidden Planet…
