    LC475 with Kei-truck style monitor

    I'd be interested to try swapping out the PLL but fitting a fixed 18.75MHz oscillator for 37.5mHz bus speed - I have the PPC upgrade card, it's clock doubles the bus speed again for the cpu clock, and the actual chip on there is rated for 75MHz. That, coupled with stephen/drake's 512k 60ns...

    LC475 with Kei-truck style monitor

    4MB Macintosh II & IIx 30-pin SIMM's

    While this is true, the 30-pin SIMM's available from there and Keystron (https://keystron.com/) won't work in a II or IIx still - hence the need for these ones.

    Initial feedback

    Hey @Woodengamer - thanks for the feedback - that was quick! We've already amended the trade section to reflect 'caveat emptor' :) As all trades, at the moment, are approved manually by a moderator, as we're likely to be on the low side of trades for now - but as we scale, i can certainly see...
