[comp.sys.mac.hardware] 512Ke upgrade to run Hypercard

rz@camcon.co.uk (Rob Zanconato) (03/08/91)

Does anyone know of a cheap upgrade (I'm willing to consider
a small constructional project) for the Mac 512Ke (actually
an upgraded Mac 512) so that I can run Hypercard. I have looked
at the NewLife board, but it's still too expensive for my
needs, and pocket.

	i have upgraded my "research 512's" to 4 Mb and An 80Mb hard disk.
The board i used was a thing called mac rescue. basically giving more memory
and a scsi port. However if you have a strait off 512, ie not a 512e, then you
may have a problem where the 800k drive is concerned, as a 512 will not 
accept an 800k mechanism, anly 400's. if you can scrounge some 128k roms
then that will be a good place to start.



good luck ay'
