Rescuing my Childhood Mac LC575 (And Upgrading the BEJEEZUS out of it!) Part 1 (2021x29)

: 25, 2021

In today's very special episode, we have the Mac that got me into vintage Macs... literally. I bought this LC575 from a thrift shop way back when I was in high school, and I promptly ruined it while trying to upgrade it. Today, it has no motherboard, no screws, and no drives... and it hasn't been turned on in well over a decade. Fortunately, thanks to Alex from @appleontheapex I not only have a new LC575 motherboard - but it has an INCREDIBLE PowerPC upgrade card on it! Can we bring this Mac back to life? And if so, how far can we push it? Let's find out!
