But he seems to allude to the fact he can only manage text due to the 2-bit video capabilities of the original Mac design.
he also goes on to design a new amp system to generate 4 shades of gray, otherwise it was a 486 running dos

and I personally dont see how a nearly 200$ 9-10 inch lcd is cheaper than modding software and a few connections, if you used a beefier machine with linux you litterly just have to edit a text file on the software side

anyway this all gives me evil thoughts about my perfroma200, I havent considered a case mod, cause the durn monitor is expensive in those sizes, cheapest b&w crt ive seen is still 100+ bucks with shipping, it would be alot nicer to use the normal screen, though you loose resolution, I (again personally) cant imagine squinting at a black n white 9 inch crt pumping out 1024x768, the last one I had was barley readable at 640x480 in windows
