I don't know if ever this has been covered here, but this came across tonight after watching an program on TV about "Commodore 64" and how it changed the culture. In the program was this guy, a collector of old home computers and gaming consoles, so i googled his name and found the webpage. However most interesting for us maybe, apple-macintosh in mind was this:
Custon made Apple "plus" using used 512k motherboards. We are seriously talking about an raretie, while not being an real, offical, macintosh, but still, interesting piece of hardware.

I've heard about these before, mainly made from Macintosh Plus i think, made as portable computer by local Apple/Macintosh-sales company (before Macintosh portable arrived offically) and also later, put macintosh hardware on generic taiwanise pc-case. I've tried to dig more information on the "portable" and so far i know of, they were made and even sold, but were extermely rare. One eldery gentleman remembered seen one on trade-show and it was all black. They also manufactured external HD-cases with drives under their own brand as well did modifications to Macintosh 512k adding the SCSI-port to them.
