No! In fact, Ultima III runs in both monochrome high-res (640x400) with assets to match, as well as color low-res (320x300 16-colors). I rebooted the system during the photo capture (to make it easy and not have to touch the camera (phone), I took a video and pulled two frames and merged them).

Awesome. I want one of these so badly for my A1000. I would absolutely add a video card and a second monitor to it - maybe mono Hercules.

I had no idea the Mac II (and IIx) required a FPU to boot the OS. I know none of the LCs do. Not sure about the IIcx, IIci. Seems an odd move by Apple.

Striking images. What's going on with that CPU socket?

That keyboard looks sweet. NCR-like.

You shouldn't have copied that floppy.

Oh, so badly do I wish the same; I'd give much for a few more photos of those wonderful systems setup in my bedroom as a kid.
A four year journey I took a while back did yield a worthwhile result, though!
