Everyone should stop picking on the Mac TV... It may not be fast, but it's so cool! That's what I think, anyway... Sure wish I had one... -- *** Amber Rhea *** [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tangerinecs.com/~amber For great justice -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by and... Sm

Really? I was always under the impression that all that had to be transfered was the motherboard and the female connector that resides in the case. Since the TV is SCSI, and the 54xx is IDE... Isn't this the same hack as the Color Classic Mystic? I mean, aren't the motherboard connectors almost id
