The original had an M68k @8MHz w/ 128k of RAM. It might be possible to emulate it on a Raspberry Pi Pico which has 2x133MHz Arm with w/ 264k of RAM for an even smaller package. This has been done on an ESP32 which has similar specs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBiQgLlgcnA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBiQgLlgcnA
- Paul-Craft 3y agoLol, I'd actually prefer it to be in a life-sized (i.e. Mac Classic-sized) package, so it's more usable as an actual computer. I suppose as a piece of hacker-oriented performance art, having a teeny Mac with a teeny tiny screen is also fun, but think of what you could do with all that extra space inside the case!
- tyingq 3y agoI like this project where Trammel Hudson drives a Mac SE CRT with a BeagleBone Black, translates keyboard signals, etc. So you have a real Mac on the outside, with modern internals. https://trmm.net/Mac-SE_video/ https://trmm.net/Mac-SE_video/
- Paul-Craft 3y agoOh, yeah. Now that's a project I like. Even supposing I had a broken, ~30-35 year old Mac and a BeagleBone hanging around, I'm not sure I could have gotten too much past "program the BB to be a video card" lol :) I just love the creativity that's out there in the world sometimes, you know?
