1 - That would be nice
2 - diitto.
3 - These already exist and were a product sold in the G3/G4 days. It's basically a microcontroller converting protocols
4 - That seems a bit ridiculous, given how ADB keyboards grow on trees. Again though, it's just a microcontroller acting as a protocol converter.
5 - These exist in NuBus format. It's just a PCB with a resistor and an LED attached to each of the voltage rails. Some people called them the "Snooper" cards.
6 - Those existed. Back then you called your modem and it was a device attached in between the modem and the mac. A modern version is just a network interface that toggles the PSW line on the ADB. You would need something like Apple Remote Access however to make much use of it given how macs didn't have a console until the OS X era.
7 - That would be nice. This custom ROM stuff lately has been going quite well. Lots of new chances to make diskless machines.
8 - Just the CPU? No ram?
9 - That would be really nice. Even a standard composite output would be great.
10 - That's basically an Appletalk server. There would be a lot you would need to reverse engineer. Just get an LC pizza box and use that.
11 - I prefer badgers
What about some sort of scan converter for the Lisas? We already have a composite video output on the Lisa 1 and Lisa 2/5 machines but the refresh rate/resolution is so oddball I can't get ANYTHING to sync to it properly.
