Macintosh Color Classic Mystic Upgrade

[@LIVEFROMHYPERSPACE]

I love that people are still into this. I remember reading about the mystic upgrade when I was young.

[@santospoland]

I have a mystic sitting a few feet away. Such a thing of beauty. Now into the 4:43min and I know that this is going to be a fantastic video for any CC owner who wants a 575 in there to get it up to a Mystic level and drive it home with a 640x480 resolution. I'll say it now, brilliant video!

I love that your cat is in the video!

[@philippbokrand26]

Really interesting. My mac collection has yet to go that far back in time model wise but thanks for that great tutorial video. Also a great work itself on that mod. You are skilled!

[@TheHouseOfMoth]

Excellent as always!

[@RetroViator]

Well done! I enjoyed it, and I will be watching more of your good work.

[@DavidStahlOLDHAPPyMACs]

Great Job Bruce

How does the software modification work?

[@BranchusCreations]

It's my understanding that it's just a matter of adding the system enabler 065 ver 1.1 to the System Folder.

[@erinwiebe7026]

I've been searching for both a Color Classic in good condition and a 575 board for this very project for a while now. @Branchus Creations, please reach out if you have leads on either?

[@BCjeffro420]

great Video Thanks!

[@fhorn2k]

Thank you for adding this video! Awesome resource. I noticed that you have a lot of capacitor lists on your site. Doe you happen to have a list for the LC/Performa 575 analog board? I am thinking about a Mysic upgrade for my color classic and fixing a spare 575 up to stay as a 575.

[@miraculousmia341]

My analog board doesn't have a J78 and J79. It has DD1 in place of it. What do I do instead?

[@bobdole57]

I like the color classic case and all, but I'd rather have the LC 575 as is and the color classic as is. But it is a nifty mod for the compact mac fans.

[@BollingHolt]

Cool!

[@mikek1187]

Does this analog board mod work for the LC 550 logic board?

[@azimutinformatique5154]

Bonjour, je cherche à acheter un performa 250, auriez-vous cela ? Merci

[@wojtistef]

Mac ?

[@captain3186]

as cool as this is it pains my soul how many LC 575's have to die to make this happen

[@BranchusCreations]

Many of the LC575s are dying without any assistance - they're one of the models that gets very brittle plastic as they age. The board I am using came from an LC575 with a case that had completely disintegrated. I would never have the heart to decommission a perfectly good LC575 for this purpose.

[@captain3186]

@@BranchusCreations as the owner of two LC 575's I know exactly what you mean. They are so brittle I cant even retr0brite them

[@philippbokrand26]

You are mentioning 3d printing the backplate. I only have G3 iMacs in my collection but I know that problem plastics getting brittle. When I take apart these machines I tend to heat up the plastic with a heat gun to take out the screws. That helps so far. When do companies come up with complete replacement case parts...

[@Gh0st121der]

I recently ordered a LC575 online from a seller. It was packed correctly but arrived in hundreds of pieces. :( Luckily I have a CC that I am now going to repurpose this logic board for as It seemed to survive the trip.

[@DanaDoesStuff]

FIRST ;)

[@keithwhisman]

I keep having dreams of grandeur such as gutting one of these machines and replacing the monitor with something like an iPad or an old MacBook or Mac mini with a display that fits the bezel so you can run modern software and browse modern porn on an old looking machine.
