Macintosh Color Classic
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Mac specs The Macintosh Color Classic was the first color compact Apple Macintosh computer. It was essentially a Macintosh LC II with an integrated 10" Sony Trinitron color display with 512×384 pixel resolution. This integrated unit resembled the original Mac series, albiet slightly expanded, (see Macintosh Plus for an example), hence "Classic." In Japan and some other markets - but not the US - Apple later released the Colour Classic II, which doubled the RAM and speed. The Color Classic was also sold to consumers in the United States as the Performa 250, and the Color Classic II as Performa 275. The Color Classic was the final model of the original "compact" Macintosh family of computers.
The Color Classic has a certain cult following, and some enthusiasts have upgraded them with motherboards from Performa 575 units, while others have put entire Power Macintosh innards into them. A common modification to this unit was to change the display to allow 640 × 480 resolution, which was a common requirement for many programs (especially games) to run.it:Macintosh Color Classic fr:Macintosh Color Classic
