CelGen's Awesome Absolutely Apple Macintosh IIfx restoration project has inspired another pie in the sky/over the top hack of dreams notion . . .
The Macintosh Professional Workbench
Add a fitted version of . . .
. . . these peripherals to the left side, move the scanner to one side of a U-Shaped workstation on the left with a tombstone shaped co-worker/client interface peninsula on the left and it would almost match what CelGen has assembled in terms of function.
In 1983, the technology didn't exist to make this concept study a reality, but now it all does!
00__9500 MoBo, I've got (9600 if I can find one, getting my PEx MoBo to work would be even better! :approve: )
01__USB card to use two wireless KBDs/Controllers to achieve the modular approach for chicklety/Mac/ubuntu/windows compatible input
02__re-casing a wireless mouse to update FROG's concept mouse would be way [8D]
03__re-casing a bluetooth headset (with a send button) into the phone module makes that a practical/functional peripheral in today's world
04__re-casing a modern color inkjet with the lower fronts-piece being the flip-down feeder tray is definitely do-able, just gotta find the right inkjet with top output
05__re-casing two modern speakers for stereo output would be a piece of cake
06__switching to a 1080p LCD works a lot better in terms of the modernization theme and overall usefulness
07__Recasing USB peripherals for the left end is a no-brainer
08__KVMing several MoBos in that Looong-n-DEEP@$$ sucker will save room overall for a modern workstation/collectors playtoy
09__Switching to a BlackSnow Design Language is also a no-brainer for color-matching the updated parts
