The Classic is essentially a Mac Plus+. Same CPU, same video but better SCSI and 32bit clean ROM with OS 6 built in. (Command Option X O at boot.) Same 4 meg RAM ceiling. If your Classic has only 1meg it doesn't have the RAM expansion card. If it has 2 or 4 megs it has the expansion card. The 1meg card can have 2megs added. There were some cards made with 3megs all soldered on instead of 1meg soldered and two SIMM sockets. Oh, and it can have an internal hard drive as well as external instead of the original Plus' limitation to external SCSI only. ===== It's total Fandemonium! http://www.fandemonium.org __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
