I'm with Bill on this one! I have 3 575's and _really_ like this machine. (3 other family members own them as well) One has 32mb ram, a 1 gig hard drive and the hard to find Apple PPC upgrade. The second is wearing a 40Mhz CPU and oscillator pirated from an 840av a 64MB stick-o-ram with a 7200 rpm 2 gig hard drive and an 8x Apple CD-ROM drive running OS 8.1. The third one is awaiting a modified logic board with a second Simm socket soldered to it to see if it will take 2 of those 64MB sticks! With the addition of the 64MB ram modules these are really sweet machines running OS 8.1 Aloha, Ken -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
