Macintosh
Colour Classic in great condition -in original box - 
Here you find
other Apple and Mac Collectors Items.
A rare Macintosh Color Classic, in good condition including
Keyboard, Mouse and German manual - all in the original shipping box (shows signs of time). I found a Color Classic only once in this condition - and bought it :-) Now it is time to free some space in the Shed - this is a rare chance to get a very special collectors item. Photos
Released in February 1993, the Color Classic
(Codename: Slice) was identical to the Classic
II, except for a color screen, a larger ROM, and
a restyled case. The Color Classic sold for $1,390,
and was also released as the Performa 250. The
Color Classic was an LC II crammed into a completely
re-designed case which was a discarded prototype
for the 10th Anniversary Mac. All of the internal
circuitry is almost identical to the LC II; they
share the same circuit boards and most of the
same components, including a 16 bit data bus and
a 10 MB RAM limit. The Color Classic however,
had a 68882 math coprocessor added to the daughterboard.
It also had the special "daughterboard"
which could be slid out of the back for easy upgrading.
The Color Classic was the first Mac with a built-in
color monitor, although the unusual 512 x 384
pixel format size meant many games would not run
properly, if at all. However, it is possible to
hack the circuitry to support 640 x 480 or add
a video card that allows use of a larger external
monitor. (This was the first compact Mac since
the SE/30 to offer an expansion slot.)
The Apple Macintosh Color Classic features a
16 MHz 68030 processor, 4 MB of RAM, and either
a 40 MB, an 80 MB, or a 160 MB hard drive in a
sleek, compact all-in-one case with a 10"
color display. The consumer version of the Color
Classic is the Performa 250. The Color Classic's
claim to fame is a tiny, remarkably crisp 10"
(9" viewable) 512 x 384 pixel color monitor
- and Apple IIe emulation using a PDS card. (The
512 x 384 pixel display matched the format of
the 12" monitor designed for the LC and LC
II, which accepted the same Apple II card.)
The Color Classic had an internal microphone
above the screen and a readily accessible motherboard:
just open the rear panel and slide out the board
for upgrades. You can control volume and contrast
using controls on the front of the computer -
no need to open control panels. Unlike other compact
Macs, the Color Classic can be shut down with
the power key on the keyboard.

Hier finden Sie weitere
Apple & Mac Raritäten zum Kauf.
Ein absolutes Liebhaberstück in original Verpackung, der erste
Würfel mit einem Farbdisplay. Der
Macintosh Color Classic von 1993 war der letzte
klassische Mac, nur in Japan wurde noch der Color
Classic II verkauft. Der Color Classic ist in
einem guten Zustand, sehen Sie die Photos. Er läuft
verläßlich mit seinem System 7.5 und
10 MB RAM. Eine 80 MB Platte ist eingebaut die
noch viele Programme enthält und das deutsche
System.
Das besondere an diesem seltenen Modell ist der
eingebaute 12 Zoll Farbmonitor. Dieses Modell
ist nur selten zu kaufen, ich habe einen CC nur einmal in diesem zustand gesehen - und gleich gekauft :-) Nun ist es Zeit ein wenig Platz im regal zu machen. Der kommt
so schnell nicht wieder, der Käufer kann sich über ein seltenes Sammlerstück freuen.
