something like that yes... but I would use the pi strictly as a dsp or video rendering/data pump. That is DMA connected to the macs real hardware/pds. And real OS.

This way its still a mac. But it uses the pi for streaming audio or video. And of course web rendering. Then the pi outputs via dma to the macs vram/framebuffer.

So in theory you could watch youtube or netflix on a 68k mac using a special browser that displays the pi data.

A colorclassic streaming netflix would be kind of neat.

The wrb browsers window would simply just display whats comming from the pi. Kinda like spple video player did.

Of course you could write a new 68k browser that uses the pi for its connection and processing.

This way you have the look and feel of the real os and hardware but you have the power of a modern machine
