And I thought I was the king of the tip finds! Well scored there

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…

Be aware that with a 575 board, you will have to perform either a software mod or a hardware mod. The software mod is to fool the 575 board into operating at the Color Classic's 5…

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
