Mystic would be a Color Classic with an upgraded logic board, in this case, one from an LC575 (along with a few other mods :). I haven't had any luck getting either machine to "see" the other. Ideally I'd like to be able to share files between the iBook and the Color Classic and get online with the Color Classic as well.

Checked that, there's an extra slot on there marked uplink (making a total of 6 in all), but I'm not connecting either machine through that one. Guess I should invest in a crossover cable? > > 3.
