So you've bought a dead mac classic. The logic board is bombed, and there's no expansion board inside. Or there was, and it, too, has incurred the wrath of Maxell. Well, you now know you can get a Macintosh Classic Reloaded board, at least, but what about the RAM expansion? Well - between...

Managed to score one of these a few months ago, but I've been slowly gathering the parts needed to turn this into a monster. It's stock as far as CPU goes (300MHz 604ev), although I do have a few G3 cards I might try. I even have a 400MHz Formac ZIF carrier card, but no heatsink I can use. If...

As with the Macintosh SE, many Classic's have died because of Apple's short sighted decision to add a battery to the board - and unfortunately a particularly explosive one at that! This will inevitably pop and causes a horrific amount of damage. Thankfully, because i've done this before, with...
