About-this-mac hack for Mystic?

Is there a hack, ResEdit or otherwise, that will allow a Mystic CC to show Color Classic instead of 570 series under About This Mac or Apple System Profiler options in Apple Menu items?

I could be really wrong here but I think you would have to change that in firmware... the OS knows what board it is when you install the OS because the firmware/BIOS is flashed or programmed when it is built.

Yeah, one day I was bored, went in with res edit, found the code and. Poof! My Performa 6400 suddenly turned into a PowerMac g5 with 2.5 GHz and 8 GB of Ram.

Biggrin
