Hi. Last week Jason inquired about how one would go about upgrading a Classic or Classic II mobo for something a little faster. Marshall posted a very handy url which, like other upgrade sites walk you through the work and parts needed. Like other sites the monitor is replaced. I can understand the benefits of swapping the monitor out for a vga, I guess if I had one I'd give it a go. Sadly, they seem a bit hard to come by locally.
I would like to try the board from a LC in a Classic using the original 9" monochrome display. Knowing very little about how monitors work I dont know if this is a stupid idea doomed to failure before it starts due to a hardware limitation of the original monitor. (A simple yes will do.) Below is the video specs from manuals, not knowing the difference between monochrome displays and whether the term "bit-mapped" plays a very important or not, I'm hopeful it can work. The specs for the 475, ect, are the same as the LC with a few more options. -------------------------------- Video Display Classic II/Per 200: Monophonic, 8-bit digital/analog conversion using 22-kHz sampling rate; capable of driving stereo headphones or other stereo equipment through the sound jack 9-in. (diagonal) screen; high-resolution, 512 by 342 pixel, bit-mapped, monochrome display Video LC and LC II provide built-in support for many monitors, including .
