    Macintosh LC 575 “Mystic” logic board recap, install into Color Classic II chassis

    Khajiit has wares... or more specifically, I work on many projects! You can find the meowTOAST on github, which also lists the meowTWOast (meowTOAST v2). The board we discussed ended up being a bit too short in the first revision — I'm not really satisfied with the idea until JLC can provide an...

    Compact Mac Video Adapter

    I believe a CGA monitor would accept the signal but it would also depend on the frequencies supported by the individual displays.

    Compact Mac Video Adapter

    Some time in 1988, a small company created a video output adapter for early compact macs with the model number 2702. There are other models, but the focus of my post is on this adapter.

    Pantone Color for Mac Color Classic?

    I know it's not exactly what you're asking for, but when I was repairing a CC that had shipping damage I took the back panel to home depot and had them color match it.
