I also have a German Newton, and as far as I am aware, you can only change the language by changing the ROMs for an English version.

You've got a PM

Would love to see some photos of the 500 if you get a chance. I don't know this model, is it like the form factor of the 520 and 540 ("Blackbird") models?

This is very good news because I just bought a 128mb 72pin simm module. I bought an entire LC 550 machine today, so I can pull the board out of that when I receive it, put that int…

So wow that is a good find there. I wish I could of got that, But wow that guy was using the StyleWriter Power brick. He must of not able to read what it said. That is funny tho an…

I'm fairly sure the guts of the 575 and 550 (apart from the logic board of course) are pretty much identical. The displays are the same (which is the most important factor), so it …

I've used a steel ruler to slide into a slot and then firmly push it up to slide up the tab, you need to remove the battery to take the top and bottom half of the casing apart. Ho…

NVM I got an 550 board Now will a 575 board work in a 550? Also does the 575 and 550 use the same type of ram?

Know anyone selling an LC 550 board?

You have done one of the following, I trust: 1. Video hack to allow CC video operation in 640x480, which the replacement logic board demands (which I do not recommend as it effect…

Indeed, Merry Christmas and all the best to you lot this holiday season!

back in the day i used to use the IBM models of the 1GB and 2GB drives they were cheap enough... had to use the hacked SC setup though...

IIRC, for 8.1 you need to install the OS as a "fat binary" system containing both 68k and PPC code. I think you do this by selecting to install "For any Mac"

Going to try System Enabler 065 version 1.0 tomorrow with enabler 403. Hopefully that will work.

I'll Talk french as you also talk it Alors que WOW est un bien y trouver. Je voudrais pouvoir de Got cela, mais wow that guy a utilisé la brique StyleWriter Power. Il faut qu'i…

Yea I knew they only had one slot in the I-book I even just meses my 9 installed but that is another story and the added ram runs ines fine

Added System Enabler 403 to the System Folder, still nothing when trying to boot off the 7.6.1 CD with 575 board. Got Sad mac face at boot, when I tried to boot off the 8.1 CD . T…

anyone know what the LCD model number is for the active matrix? i got a ton of active matrix LCDs laying around, might have one that compatible....

That didn't work either.

I think I'm going to give System Enabler 1.1 a shot and replace the 1.0 enabler with that on the hard drive. Then boot off the 7.6.1 CD with the 575 board installed. I'll give you…

Update: Put barebones System Folder I extracted from 7.6.1 CD-ROM which I then put on a boot disk CD-ROM, booted from disk, copied System Folder to HardDisk with the System Enabler…

I have experienced SimasiMac on multiple SE/30 logic boards. SimasiMac in its truest form is a set of HORIZONTAL bars that are very clean with no stray pixels here and there. The…

I can't get this machine to install the Mac OS with the 575 motherboard. The original motherboard that came with the Color Classic is missing ram and gives me out of memory messag…
