[ LC -> LCIII]

The configuration of the original LC is shown below:

ORG.
CPU 68020
FPU none
clock speed 16MHz
width of bus 16bit
max memory 10MB
real memory 4MB
HD capacity 100MB

At the beginning of ownership I didn't notice any performance deficiencies, but eventually I became dissatisfied with

I still managed to make good use of with the help of a light English-version OS and extension manager. I often thought about upgrading it, but didn't expect the performance improvement to be worth the expense. However, after I started using a Power Macintosh 7500/100 at work I lost interest in my old, slow Mac LC.

After several more years I again became interested in the old Macintosh. A friend gave me an LCIII. I took it home and studied which parts I could transplant to the LC, because I really liked the slim appearance of the original LC case.

I found many differences between the two computers. The size of the mother board, the cooling fan and speaker were mounted, and even the chassis itself was different. I moved the LC's floppy diskette drive, cover, and a bolt to the LCIII. Of cource they existed on the LCIII but it was my finicky personality....
