With my super leet soldering skillz, I successfully hacked my Color Classic's analogue board to a full 640x480 pixels. Considering I've never soldered a damn thing in my life, I think it turned out awesome.

neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'"

512x384, same as the original B&W Macs. The problem is that many System 7 apps (especially games) required a minimum of 640x480.

I just swapped out the motherboard on my CC with an LC 575. I then just bought a Presenter 575sc adapter, which clips onto the video chip on the motherboard and offers a VGA port to connect an external monitor.
My goal is to swap out the CRT with an 800x600 LCD screen. My Color Classic is gonna be pimp.
