Re: CC upgrade

[James McLaren]

The 575 works great, I'm using it right now.  But the 575 and CC have  
similar architectures so the swap is easy.  The 580 has a different  
architecture in that it uses an IDE bus instead of SCSI.  So trying to  
do the swap with a 580 board can range from it just simply not working,  
to it doing some serious damage to the internal components of your CC

Hi All:

According to lowendmac.com, the quickest and easiest way to upgrade the
Color Classic would be to get the motherboard of an LC 550. Pardon this
stupid question but would the mobo of an LC 575 or 580 do? After all,  
from
the looks of it, they have the same form factor and they belong to the  
same
series.

Also: for those of you who've tried this, is replacing the mobo on the  
CC
with an LC 5XX an easy process?

Again, thanks. I appreciate the replies that I get from this list.  
Truly, I
do. :)
