MicroMac provided several products to upgrade the Color Classic, a perennial favorite among Mac collectors, as well as many other Macs. Although pages on the company website have not been updated since 1998-2000, we provide this as a look back at some very innovative upgrades.

640 x 480 Screen Resolution Upgrade

For Color Classic, Colour Classic II, and Performa 275.

• $99 upgrade from 512 x 384 pixels to 640 x 480 pixels.
• Get 57% more pixels on your screen.
• See 25% more width in your documents.
• Better Web browsing.
• Crisp, high-resolution images.
• Thousands of colors with 512 KB VRAM.

This upgrade requires that you obtain an RMA number from MicroMac Technology. You then ship your Color Classic, and MicroMac Technology performs the screen upgrade.

Logic Board Upgrades

33 MHz LC 550 Logic Board Upgrade

Boost the Color Classic from 16 MHz to 33 MHz. Also works in Mac TV and LC 520.

• More than double performance.
• Allows up to 36 MB of RAM.

33 MHz and 40 MHz LC 575 Logic Board Upgrades

Upgrade your Color Classic, Colour Classic II, LC 520, or LC 550.

• Upgrade to 66 MHz 68LC040 (without FPU), $399
• Upgrade to 66 MHz 68040 with FPU, $449

• Upgrade to 80 MHz 68040 with FPU, $499

It works like this:

1. MicroMac sends the new logic board to you.
2. You then install the new, upgraded logic board into your machine.
3. When everything is working fine you send back you old, slower logic board. MicroMac typically expects the original logic board back within 30 days. For international orders this time can be extended.
4. MicroMac will test your old logic board to be sure it is functional.

Special Pricing: Screen-resolution upgrade, when purchased with logic board upgrade, $49.
