Hi all I've had a Classic Mac for a while, and I recently acquired four more (one Classic, three Plusses).
I'm a bit of a hardware hacker, and I love reverse engineering stuff. I've opened two of the new Macs already, the Classic has an exploded capacitor which has lead to corrosion by the RTC -- will have to fix that. I've found schematics and a lot of other interesting information on the web, but what's strange is that I didn't see ROM dumps or much information on the firmware... I can't believe that the source for the ROMs or the PAL equations etc have never been leaked from Apple... strange :-) Why would I want to know? Well, with source code for the ROMs and an idea of what's in the PALs I'm sure I can stretch a Plus to about 12MB RAM :-) Wouter the Retro Hardware Hacker www.retro.co.za -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
