Posted by: CC_333 on 2012-12-10 07:51:29I really want that boxed System 7!!I want them all!!! Actually, I have OS 9, and I used to have 8.5 as well, but it got lost years ago during a big move. Anyway, nice job! c | |
| Posted by: MacClassic10 on 2012-12-10 08:16:35 The Color Classic was extremely dirty when I got it. So I applied some baking soda, windex and soap and cleaned the entire computer shell inside and out. Then after I polished it up with some car interior polish. I then pulled a motherboard from an LC 550 and put that inside, originally I had the 575 motherboard, but wanted to keep this more true to the CC II specs. I also added a new hard drive for more storage, and bumped the ram and vram. Then added the CD-Drive, speakers and keyboard. 🙂 I also have a quadra 605 and IIsi in the works and will post pics of that soon. | |
| Posted by: MacClassic10 on 2012-12-10 08:17:25 I also found all the operating systems while hunting on eBay except for the Jaguar one which I purchased when it was originally released back in the day, I also have the 7.6 cd just not boxed. | |
| Posted by: macman142 on 2012-12-10 21:31:06 I've been keeping an aye out on ebay for a boxed System 7 but no luck yet. I like the Apple floppy disc pack too! I have one but it's bent/squished so I'm trying to flatten it out under some heavy books 🙁 | |
| Posted by: jsarchibald on 2012-12-10 23:46:17 Let me guess - you bought the 5 pack from eBay with no padding? | |
| Posted by: macman142 on 2012-12-11 05:25:50 Me? Nope... Was squished in the bottom of a box from Howards... | |
