This is the 🌈NiziMac Project.

I understand what you mean, and I respect your perspective. As a Mac fan, I also feel that if it were possible, it would be wonderful to build something using the real Apple logo. Anyone who grew up with the Macintosh probably feels the same way. I’m actually working on a small project myself...

My printer is a LaserWriter II, so misregistration is inevitable. But I think that’s part of the charm😁

I agree with your view. However, realistically the only legitimate way to use the Apple logo would be to have Apple’s official approval. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.☺️

I see. If I were in their shoes I’d do that too 😁 I didn’t know about the tiny Macintosh case. So Apple Legal actually drew the line at kits being OK while fully assembled devices were not allowed. I suppose the reasoning is that a finished product could be mistaken for an actual Apple...

That actually makes a lot of sense. “Sosumi”… I know exactly what you mean! Like saying, “Go ahead and sue us… we’re not using the Apple logo or the Macintosh name anymore.” And symbolically bringing out the sitting duck as a bit of irony. If that was intentional, that’s a very Apple-style...

This actually makes the timeline even more interesting. Looking at all the photos shared here, it seems like there might be three different sticker versions over time. Early batch Apple rainbow logo + “Macintosh” label Middle batch Rainbow X logo (Apple branding removed) Newest...

Oh wow — which unit is that one?

It looks like there are actually two versions of the MacClock sticker. One is the rainbow Apple logo version, and the other is this rainbow X version. My MacClock came with the Apple logo sticker. Sideburn mentioned that his first or second unit had the Apple logo, while the 3rd one had the...

By the way, I noticed something interesting on the Maclock sticker, On the rainbow X, there’s a small boundary between the green and yellow stripes. It made me think about the classic Apple rainbow logo… and suddenly it clicked for me. Did anyone else notice what’s going on there? 🙃

Haha that video was awesome. I love all the little details you added. By the way — what was that robot voice?? Are you actually making the MacClock talk? It totally sounded like Speak & Spell or Kraftwerk style speech synth. I love that stuff. And when it said something like “…Dave” and then...

Sorry for the late reply! I’ve been busy and haven’t had time to watch the video yet. I’ll watch it and get back to you, so please hang tight!”

omg the rainbow Apple is crossed out!!! Mine didn’t have anything printed on the front at all. The sticker sheet had two rainbow Apples and two rainbow squares (the Maclock logo), so I put the Apple on the front. Then I put the square + “Macintosh” on the back. My guess is the batches...

Wait, mine came with this sticker sheet though — was yours different? That “Macintosh Plus 1Mb” label made me grin lol. Nice touch. It’s kinda wild thinking those machines only had 1MB of RAM back then. Feels like my iPhone calculator alone would probably choke it 😂 By the way, did you...

What? — there was no sticker included? Ahh, I see… that explains it! When I saw the Mac Plus sticker, I was like: “Wait… is this a real Mac Plus? Or a MacClock?” My brain got confused for a moment haha. The quality is really high though — I was honestly surprised. And Apple getting...

Hello, nice to meet you. I really like your idea — taking the MacClock concept and flipping it around to run on an actual classic Mac is a brilliant twist. I’m currently working on a project to run real classic Mac systems (System 6 / KanjiTalk 7.5) inside a MacClock. Not just running the OS...

Quick follow-up. The unique part is the floppy interaction. My goal is: half insertion → power on full insertion → boot start disk detection → switch OS (System 6 / KanjiTalk 7.5) I want to preserve the original MacClock push-push feel and avoid interfering with the manual eject mechanism...

Hi everyone, I’m a classic Macintosh fan from Japan and I’ve been working on a small concept project inspired by the recent MacClock Raspberry Pi builds. The idea is not just to run an emulator inside a MacClock, but to recreate the ritual of starting an early Macintosh. The concept is a...
