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...

@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...

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...

Thank you very much for testing and reporting back! So, we now have 2 people thus far with the stock resolution and with a TechStep replica cartridge Vol.4 (whether a removal one or one inside the memory of the Replica TechStep shouldn’t matter), and both gentlemen can diagnose the stock CC MB...

By the way, this is a teensy tiny bit off-topic, but since I started this thread it's no big deal... I never liked the look of the Color Classic back in the day, and it wasn't only me. The April 1993 issue of Macworld had this to say... But like Tim Warner said in the end, I found that...

I wrote this in my earlier post... since the ports on the stock CC M.B. and the 520 board are the same Meaning, two ADB ports, in comparison to the LC575 board which has only one. I was using the term "the same" only to refer to the ports being similar. Indeed, and we see that in the April...

But here's the thing. I have two Serial Loopback Plugs, and Snooper 2.0 completes testing of the serial ports multiple times without error: I tested that just now with the stock CC motherboard and of course 640x480 resolution via the 84v screen mod.

Thank you for very much testing and replying back. I really appreciate it! I'm overjoyed, in fact! I wired everything in the same way I wired the LC520 motherboard, which is meaningful since the ports on the stock CC M.B. and the 520 board are the same, yet the 520 worked with the TechStep's...

Very glad to hear my review helped you. I should mention that CayMac Vintage web store is down until Sept. 10th (2025), and sadly, the way Ko-Fi works is that web pages seem to go offline when the store is down. But Will Jacobs told me he would be back in Cayman on Sept. 10th and the store...

I'm pretty much never on Discord. I don't hate it, and I like it's there for folks who enjoy it. It just doesn't suit me. Believe me, I've tried. Yes, I did start out in real forums like this one so there is a little bias, I guess, but I find that "Discord" is truly that. A bit more strife...

Asking questions in this forum can be good because a lot of people don't make time to post anything once they've solved their own questions. The ends result is all that research and effort only benefits them. By asking questions, the exploration is made available to everyone. A lot of folks...

Had the same problem (missing Enabler) the first time I booted my LC520 board inside my Color Classic, as shown at the 43:20 timestamp in my latest video here:

Since we're sharing specific links now (and boy do I LOOOOOOVE "specifics"), I think it's necessary to share an exact link to that board. But the only link I can find is the a variant of the board that is larger... https://jcm-1.com/product/se-to-128-512-plus-adapter/ QUESTIONS for @Ron's...

I'm not getting any replies in the TechStep recreation thread, so I decided to make this a new post. If you own a Color Classic with the stock motherboard and also have a TechStep along with the required Vol.4 Cartridge for testing the stock CC M.B., I've love to hear if you are able to perform...

I guess @Ron's Computer Videos never found out because I don't see a post from him in that thread. But maybe the post today by @theducks will lead Ron to the correct one. (I don't have a Plus myself, so I've never been on a search for the J8 part number.)

No question, System 7.1. No question whatsoever. I have an LC575 board in my CC with the means to overclock it to 50MHz, but I still prefer 7.1 over any other compatible OS. Why? Well, speed, quite frankly. I want an OS that lights my pants on fire. :-) Besides, you can beef up S7.1 with...

Japan Post declared their restrictions to the USA on August 25th here: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2025/0825_01_en.html Declare it as a Gift less than $100, and you can still send it. Not a gift or more than 100 smackers is now done via a more expensive shipping partner...

yes, he is on this forum.

You can send @Bolle a private message.

I just tested the LC520 board with the same cartridge vol.4 and it works…
