I watched your video from VCFSW - excellent work on the project. Hopefully this project helps you when you graduate and look for a job.

Glad you got it working. Many moons ago, I remember I had to modify the hold down bracket on a PCI Ethernet card so it was secured in a 6360.

It’s important to configure the emulator so it will shutdown the Raspian OS before disconnecting power, or the file system on the SD card will get corrupted.

Ok, looks like a project that takes a little work. I would install a heatsink on the CPU chip on the Pi - useful if you want to overclock the Pi. I don’t think you need to solder the 40 pin header, but you may want to solder the 5v and Ground pins, if you want to use a power button to turn the...

The LC Macs are small enough to store vertically on a bookshelf. As someone who collects too many retro computers, small size is a big benefit and these computers are easier to work on than a laptop.

I checked the U.S. Raspberry Pi distributors and it looks like the Zero 2 w is out of stock. It sold for $15 for years, though the latest price is $20 at most places. If you can’t find a Zero 2 W for a reasonable price, the Raspberry Pi 3A+ is functionally similar and still in stock at some...

Don’t electrolytic caps on video cards eventually go bad?

Looks a little like a Kensington ADB Turbo Mouse https://forum.trackballs.eu/viewtopic.php?t=104

Looks like Amazon still sells the same LCD monitor for $79.99 Eyoyo 8" Security Camera Monitor, 1024×768 4:3 Mini LCD Screen CCTV Monitors Display with HDMI VGA BNC AV USB

Wow, that’s a great price.

Just speculating, but I think Apple had stocked a certain number of spare 800K drives for AppleCare warranty replacements. When 2+ years out of 3 years elapsed and Apple still had most of the new 800K drives sitting in the warehouse, they worked a deal with Education sales to offer low cost...

That’s a really inexpensive solution. From Digikey, a 74HC04N costs $0.70 and the 4 channel level converter (Adafruit BSS138) costs $3.96 plus the resistors $.10 x 2 (can’t determine value) plus the power connector, 40 pin female header and 4 standoffs. The most expensive part is the Raspberry...

There are other methods to reuse the case with a RPi, but typically involves removing the CRT and installing a new LCD in its place. Search the forum.

The 6360 is a very good Mac - the best of the 62xx/63xx series. It has a ComSlott II card (which will accept an Apple Ethernet card) and a PCI slot, which might be able to accept a Voodoo 1/2 card for game playing.
