Mac SE/ARM

[Bunsen]

A gutted SE/30 and a Seagate Dockstar NAS combined into a 1.2GHz ARM server - with both a homebrew ADB converter to use the original keyboard, and a homebrew ARM Cortex GPU to run the original analog board and CRT.

WOW! That is an awesome collection of hacks! I like the SD card reader disguised as a floppy disk

 

[Bunsen]

Yup, that dude does some interesting work Check out the rest of his hacks.

Ya i remember reading this awhile back, i think he used an open source emulator compiled on top of the ARM CPU.

 

[Bunsen]

Emulating the original Mac was an afterthought, from my reading: the point of the exercise was a convenient small Linux server.

 

[mcdermd]

It's cool that the emulator uses zterm through a virtual serial port to shell back into the server.

 

[tmtomh]

Yeah, that thing is amazing, on pretty much every level.

I'd put the over/under as to whether the guy who made this has a girlfriend somewhere around a hundred to one. ;^)

This really is an insane piece of work, particularly the roll-your-own USB video adapter.
