Yea, it's the original Apple Colour Display I'm using so I think all should technically be ok. I did wonder if the OS I have installed is B&W when the computer is capable of better. I'll boot it up and investigate.
If your PRAM battery is flat (or non-existent) IIRC it defaults to B&W ("256 Grays") - try looking at settings in "Monitors" control panel.Well well, 12 years later
I did get the LC475 back to life with a new hard drive with OS installed. It's a museum piece obviously, but fun to reminisce. The strangest thing is that I could have sworn the LC475 was full colour (well, you know, as full colour as 1994 would provide) but with the new OS install, it's all monochrome.
If anyone of you have a view on that, I'm all ears.
Good to hear an old 040 will keep on going. ?Nothing like reviving an old old thread...
Last week, I sold my LC475 via eBay. The buyer has got it all set up and working beautifully and it looks like my old Apple will carry on giving some joy for a good while yet. 27 years old, still booting up...!
