I was surfing the web earlier this morning when I happened to find this.
Now there's some *serious* hacking involved! A few things he's done:
1) He's got an ARM-based computer running off the original power supply, if I'm not mistaken
2) He created his own PCB and video driver to drive the SE/30 CRT with the data taken from the ARM computer using the original analog board
3) He retained the original ADB keyboard and mouse by designing a control board that translates signals into USB-compatible data
4) He actually designed a way to modify the original floppy drive and turn it into a USB card reader while retaining the 3.5" floppy form factor and eject mechanism!
I think this is probably the most sophisticated and extreme example of classic mac modding I've ever, ever read of!
