A while back I bought two of those Maclocks with the intention of modding one into a tiny Mac.

@DosFox @arroz @billgoats I donāt have a Plus anymore, but did upgrade my SE/30 to a color LCD screen last year and itās glorious. If Apple had shipped an all-in-one color Mac in 1989 for not a trillion dollars, I canāt even imagine what the uptake would have been.
@chrisgervais I mean they did try it in '93 š

@chrisgervais @DosFox @billgoats How do you get the color?

@DosFox Yeah, but those Color Classics donāt hold a candle to the SE/30. I just wish Apple had led with color across the board instead of dragging B&W machines into the 90s for no reason other than margin.

To make a Mac, I'm using a Pi Zero 2 W, a Waveshare 2.8" DPI LCD, and the MacintoshPi image which includes Basillisk II and SheepShaver already installed, and they work without X11 running, perfect for the thin-resourced Pi Zero.

One thing that was missing was AppleTalk support but I solved that by installing sheep_net from these instructions. And works over WiFi!

@paulrickards That is pretty neat! I sold my collection of SE//30s due to space connstraints, but I totally have extra Raspberries and a 3D printer...
What are the chances of getting ADB hardware to run?

@arroz @DosFox @billgoats This is a SE/30-specific thing (due to it supporting Color QuickDraw) https://zigzagjoe.com/30Video.html
