Crazy hack idea...

Author	Topic
thecube84 New Member USA 56 Posts	Posted - 13 Jan 2003 : 14:15:22 I was messing around with the link i found here about making Apple II and other NTSC monitors work with a mac, and while i was testing it on my old Apple IIc monitor, I got an idea. What if I put a PowerBook Duo 230 in an Apple IIc case with minidock and somehow put an adb keyboard in the corresponding spot, then pulled a superdrive(floppy, not the dvdr) and connected it to the powerbook with a link i remember seeing, and put that in the right spot, then use the IIc monitor? For a kind of greenscreen II30c what u think? -- //=\\ \|L \|E >< \|F (()) \|R \|\|)) 68k Macs Liberated: 5 (Im only 14, give me a break)

I'm not sure if the screen of IIc has the resolution for it, but it might give you some useful ideas for your hack.

davis3031 Starting Member USA 7 Posts	Posted - 22 Jan 2003 : 11:54:30 The best way to really get screwy with people requires a newer mac (gasp!) Mount some powermac in any generic ATX case, instal VPC on it and install windoze. Then set the drive to boot windoze and give it to the tech department at work or something of the like. Ask them to "set it up." Have fun...! Dave BTW, has anyone actually tried putting a green filter over the screen, or any other color for that matter? How does it look? Check out my list below since the low-end duo essentially has the same type of screen as a 1xx series machine so I could try it... -------------- Favoring the 1xx Powerbook Series: 2x-145, 145b, 160, 2x-165, and a IIsi to boot...bong :)
