. . . title says it all, but a lot of different projects intertwined. I've long wondered about stuffing something interesting into the FDD bay.

Big question would be whether or not a PowerBook can be convinced to act as a display for Pi5 via SCSI input. That'd be a ScuzzyGraph in reverse kinda deal, all done in software on the PowerBook?

Pi video to SCSI is another thing entirely, but a full on Pi over SCSI as a PowerBook internal Periphals Collection would be pretty neat. Along with the Pi hooking it up to stuff through the Floppy slot or a printed chassis for removables


edit: how I got onto this stuff involves Compute Module 4 on a custom breakout board and crazy cool LCD in PowerBook 100 form factor, but that's another story.
