I am thinking of upgrading a Classic II with the logic board from a PowerMac 6500. I am trying to build an MP3 server. I want to use the Classic because of its small screen and small footprint. I want to upgrade to the 6500 because it can use cheap IDE drives and is much faster.
Has anybody done anything like this? I'm particulary interested in how to connect the Classic's monitor to the PowerMac and how to connect the power supply.
It's been done with a Colour Classic, but not with a Classic II. I'm not convinced that the 6500 l/b will fit. If it does, you'll need the 'innerds' of an Apple mono screen to drive the CRT with a grey scale display - b/w compacts are just sooo incompatible with later video standards.
