Jeg har fået denne retro Macintosh af en arbejdskollega, som havde den stående i sine gemmere.
Oprindeligt ville jeg have lavet noget casemod og puttet helt nyt HW i den - Men da projektet aldrig er blevet til noget, vil jeg nu gerne have klassikeren "videre i systemet".
Wikipedia skriver om den:
"The Macintosh Color Classic, released on February 10, 1993, is the first color compact Apple Macintosh computer. It had an integrated 10? Sony Trinitron color display with the same 512×384 pixel resolution as the Macintosh 12? RGB monitor. This integrated unit resembled the original Mac series, albeit redesigned to Apple's "neoclassical" design language of the era.
Features: Like the Macintosh SE and SE/30 before it, the Color Classic did come with a single expansion slot: an LC-type Processor Direct Slot (PDS), otherwise incompatible with the SE slots. This was primarily intended for the Apple IIe Card (the primary reason for the Color Classic's switchable 560x384 display, essentially quadruple the IIe's 280x192 High-Resolution graphics), which was offered with education models of the LCs. The card allowed the LCs to emulate an Apple IIe. The combination of the low-cost color Macintosh and Apple IIe compatibility was intended to encourage the education market's transition from Apple II models to Macintoshes. Other cards, such as CPU accelerators, ethernet and video cards were also made available for the Color Classic's PDS slot.
The Color Classic shipped with the Apple Keyboard known as an Apple Keyboard II (M0487) which featured a soft power switch on the keyboard itself. The mouse supplied was the Apple Mouse known as the Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II (M2706).
Legacy: The Color Classic was essentially a Macintosh LC II, using a Motorola 68030 running at 16 MHz. The Color Classic was also sold to consumers in the United States as the Performa 250.The Color Classic has a certain cult following, and some enthusiasts have upgraded them with motherboards from Performa/LC 575 units ("Mystic" upgrade)[citation needed], while others have put entire Performa/LC/Quadra 630 or successor innards into them ("Takky" upgrade)[citation needed]. A common modification to this unit was to change the display to allow 640 × 480 resolution, which was a common requirement for many programs (especially games) to run.
The Color Classic series was eventually replaced by the larger-display LC 5x0 & 5xx0 series and ultimately paved the way for the iMac, which popularized much of the same passion and enthusiasm the original Macintosh and Color Classic generate among their fans."
Salget er på midlertidig hold, da MAC'en har besluttet sig for ikke at tænde.
Heller ikke efter skift af bundkortsbatteri (Hvilket iøvrigt viste sig at være et ½ AA batteri på 3.6V) - Så nu må jeg se om jeg kan hitte ud af lidt førstehjælp.
