Unfortunately for most of us it is in German, but you'll get the picture by
reading across it and looking at the pics, notably the screenshots. There
are quite a lot of open questions with this thing, as Apple is not very
likely to hve named a 040 machine a "Power Colour Classic" shortly before
the advent of the first 601-RISC-equipped Apples;<snip>
Hmmm... I'm pretty skeptical of this. I've done some work on CCs, that looks an awful lot like a 575 mobo. Also, the icon image in the About box looks like a 575, and it's trivial to change the text to anything you like.
I'm totally sceptical!
It's a CC with 575 l/b and a hacked 'About this Mac' window. All the specs match a the 'Mystic' (575 in CC) specs and I'm pretty sure that 'Power Colour Classic' was an unknown phrase until the 'Takky' came along. Indeed, no-one would call a '040-powered Mac 'Power Colour Classic.'
Total scam.
If it were an English language auction, I'd make some 'innocent' enquiries of the seller. Any German speakers around here want to do so?
