Conceptual stage right now, but he seems to know what he's about - and he has form for getting crazy stuff built and working.

Plus Too

Inspired by projects like the Replica 1, Minimig, and C-One, the goal is to build a functionally identical copy of the original Mac, but using modern hardware parts. Such a system would be a true hardware clone rather than an emulator.

Of particular note:

A side note: There seems to be significant interest in the vintage Mac community in an external floppy drive replica that can work with a real Mac. While this project won’t address that need, it may provide some knowledge and expertise that could be used to help reach that goal.
