That's a really good writeup on the LC series, Scott, thanks for that. In Australia at least though, the LC475/575/630 were sold directly to consumers.

All models with "LC" in their name were popular in schools. In fact, the LC line became education-only after some time. I believe the original LCIII (not LCIII+) was the last LC so…

The 68060 didn't scale well, either. The fastest versions lack the MMU, FPU, or both. Too many transistors for a wafer that size back then. The fastest 060's required separate chip…

my teacher has two of the older iMacs. one is a Blondi blue and the other is an indigo, i might be able to find some space in my room to keep it, now I need to convince my parents …

If System 7 had been on the market for 2 years by the time the LCIII was released, then it's not surprising that you can't run System 6 on it. You can't downgrade a system to a ver…

Are you saying it definitely is NOT in the IIci ROM? Click to expand... Yep, as far as I can tell, it is not in there. The one ting the IIci and fx have in common is tha…

I can date these "animation" frames back to the IIfx, but after the IIci. Click to expand... Are you saying it definitely is NOT in the IIci ROM? The one ting the IIci and fx …

Very interesting. It's not animated on the LC III/Performa 450 either as far as I can tell. But the LC III ROM also contains normal 32x32 images of the complete happy mac and sad…

Not on mine. It just starts with the completed face. Unless it's too fast for me to see that is. Tempest

Isn't that just how it is? (Like your animation) Click to expand... Are you saying that it is indeed animated like this on the actual Macintosh Classic machine? I just spotted…

Isn't that just how it is? (Like your animation)

Here's what it would look like animated:

I admit that I do not own a Mac Classic. Intrigued by the command+option+o+x bootable ROM ability, I peeked inside this ROM. I found this by importing the ROM as a fairly tall ra…

I too am trying to locate a copy of Apple IP Gateway. I'm not with it enough to figure out the Hotline / KDX client.

In the consumer market, the LC III was sold as the Performa 450. It's identical except for the sticker on the front of the case, and some accessories that came bundled with it. L…

I can confirm that the LCIII definitely does support 24 bit mode, in fact when an LCIII has a flat PRAM battery, or no PRAM battery, it boots up in 24 bit mode by default. And it d…

For that Apple IIe card keep in mind IIRC you need to run that in 24-bit mode. 32-bit mode won't work. So the IIe card in a LC III may not work since I"m not sure you can run t…

Yes, both of my LC III's were from a school. I think the guy I got them from had a trailer full of them. LC's and the AIO LC models must have been very popular with schools and th…

They were pretty popular in schools. I haven't looked for any recently, but schools were littered with them (and LC II's) in the 90's.

The LCIII wasn't quite as common as the LCII, for one thing it cost a bit more than the LCII, but I'd think it was still a bit common. My Dad bought an LCIII back in 1993, and I re…

I'm wondering how popular the LC III was (or not)? Reason, I don't encounter hardly any of them where I look. Even on ebay they seem scarce. I figured, I want one of those since …
