For all you lovers of vintage mac and mac emulation (I'm picking most of you reading this fall into one or other of these categories), John Leake of retromaccast has built a working 1:3 scale model of compact mac running System 6, using a raspberry Pi and mini vMac under linux.

Check it out!

I saw that! It's really cute!

Pitty there's no CRT though... I had often thought it would be really cool if someone made a miniture CRT-wouldn't need a very high voltage to run that on.

I think someone else started a thread on this in The Lounge.

No, they started a thread on a similar project which ended up going off-topic to discuss this one.
