    Got My Transparent Inner Bezel From MacEffects Installed

    How loud are those four fans going at once, and are you using the LNA to reduce RPMs and noise?

    Color Classic analog board trouble

    Mine was especially warm on the right side, due to the hot degaussing component there. But even though I couldn’t feel the same level of heat on the left side, I can only imagine how hot that DL22 diode was getting.

    Can You Put a White Phosphor CRT into an IBM 5155 (Portable Personal PC)?

    Beyond the novelty of having an Amber CRT inside a compact Mac, how do you folks like them? Would you describe the picture as being "easier on the eyes" or "just different"?

    I'm posting back in this thread today not only to give @phipli praise once again for his incredible work on the 475 Overclock software solution 👏, but I also want to update all of you 475 Overclock users about the impressive work forum member @frontein1 has done (and continues to do) in boosting...

    "475 Overclock" control strip on Color Classic Mystic - problems and solutions

    We've already talked about RAM and VRAM in this thread, but I am replying back again today to say you (and one with an LC575 motherboard) should buy not only 60ns VRAM, but also a 60ns or faster RAM SIMM too because of the incredible work @frontein1 has accomplished today...

    Testers Needed: Modified ROM for LC475/Q605

    Holy cow! All the numbers are improved across the board! I'm going to tag @YMK because he is the creator of Synchr030/S which is an accelerated PDS RAM card for the SE/30. I'm also going to tag @Willj and @Jockelill who I know are following your incredible work.

    Mac+ Flyback Help

    I'm still hoping and praying that @MacEffects can one day clone them for us. Until then, I sadly have no technical specs to provide and don't think cloning one will be possible. Most people ask about outrageously priced flyback on EBAY which are not running $145 or higher. And to think, those...

    Color Classic analog board trouble

    Can't believe it. Just got home from work and was able to test my Mystic when I realized that I forgot to flip off the power SW at back last night. The power was on all day in my room at home with no A/C in the heat of summer, and that means the ambient room temperature was probably 35°C or...

    Color Classic analog board trouble

    I'm still concerned about the 133.9°C max. temperature I measured on the 1N5355B 18V 5W Zener diode (DO-15 package size) soldered to DL22 pads. It stays that way for about a half hour after you do a Shutdown from the booted condition and then it remains at about 121°C to 125°C (well, at least...

    Color LCD Retrofit Kit for SE/30 by ZigZagJoe

    @iantm I tagged Ron in hope's he'd provide details, but since he hasn't I can only tell you what I know, which is limited because I have a different adapter and not Ron & Joe's. You can find Ron's video adapter creations on Joe's website here...

    Color Classic Resolution Switching

    It would be quite nice if a simple ROM flash could switch resolutions because it's easier to pull the motherboard out for a ROM flash than it is to pull the Analog Board. But alas, resolution changing is hardwired to those silly Analog Board SENSE LINES. 😕 And very sadly, on top of that, the...

    Color LCD Retrofit Kit for SE/30 by ZigZagJoe

    @Ron's Computer Videos "running a display" on... the SE? SE/30? Internal, or external?

    Color LCD Retrofit Kit for SE/30 by ZigZagJoe

    No because the PDS slot in the SE is not the same as the SE/30, and the 30Video PDS card is made for the SE/30.

    Running a Neural Network on a Mac 128K

    Ken, I just finished watching your video and I must say, you have a truly brilliant mind. Absolutely ingenious! @frontein1 and @David Cook , you two gentlemen might find this work intriguing as well! Note that the SNOW emulator mention is found here: https://snowemu.com/

    Error 403 – unable to access Macintosh Garden anymore

    Use of VPNs and Relays impacts other popular Mac sites like Macintouch too. Do a keyword search for "iCloud Private Relay" at the following URL: https://www.macintouch.com/macintouch-faq/ I am not saying anything negative against VPNs and Relays. I honestly think they are important. I am...

    Color Classic Resolution Switching

    Now that I've done the 84V Mod, I can answer my own question. I only did a single test with the IIe Card installed on the stock CC motherboard, and the Mac's resolution is now 640x480 with the 84V mod. But for reasons unknown, the left/right black borders are thicker than when I have the LC520...

    Testers Needed: Modified ROM for LC475/Q605

    @frontein1 I have two questions: QUESTION #1 Mustermann's thread on the MLA says he wanted to DISABLE the soldered 4MB of motherboard RAM. Your previous message says the "About..." dialog on your machine now shows only 128MB instead of 132MB, which indicates your v092 file does indeed make the...

    Software-only OVERCLOCK for LC475, LC575, Quadra 605

    MYSTIC UPGRADE: Hacks/Mods Clarified Today, a viewer of my 475 Overclock video said he has an LC575 board in his Color Classic without the VGA mod and is using the ResEdit hack (see 2.1.3 here) to "change the machine ID." He also said he was running System 7.5.5 but was having issues with...
