Is that The Internet?

I’m not sure either, but the ideas usually come out well!

@LaPorta joke I was referring to:

Ahh yes…I was just replying to cheesestraws directly re: a good idea or not!

iPrint?

Looks fun.. Ethernet to PhoneNet bridge?

Nope! It's an offboard monitoring/management thingy for an LC logic board made out of bits I happened to have in the cupboard.

Any chance of hacking in a remote power on? If so I'll start yelling "Just take my money" now

@max1zzz ignore that last comment, it was stupid. What sort of PSU/whatever are we talking about? If it's one that has soft power, it'd be pretty trivial to hack in, and just a software change if you were prepared to swap reset for power control...

I hadn't thought that far ahead! I guess a pico PSU is probably the obvious option as it supports soft power. For my purpose loosing reset control is not a major issue, I'm looking to build a rackmac but don't want to leave it running 24/7

That would be pretty easy. This board controls a relay (which I'm using for the reset line but you could use for soft power), a Dallas 1-wire temperature sensor, monitors the speed of a 5V fan, watches the HD LED, counts localtalk packets, and injects a boot beep into the computer. of course not all of those need to actually be populated.

(maximum message length strikes again) I've got four spare of these boards because JLCPCB min order, so I can pop one + most of the bits in the post to you if you want to have a play.

Sure, sounds like fun
