yeah thats risky! lol I wish i could find the Maclock people and get JUST the plastics without the electronics.. now my wheels are spinning - could make some tiny floppies with RFID in them and have it boot different disk images based on the ID# on the tags !

thanks! It’s been fun working on it and now playing with it. Seems got get about 2.5 hours of runtime off the battery.

well i think im done.. heres a little demo of it (and me calling a keyboard a speaker) for those who might be interested. I will make a better video later of the whole build.

I’m STILL messing with this thing. I came up with a way to programmatically mute the bluetooth module and “hide” chimes it makes when connecting / disconnecting and I added more floppy disk sounds. It’s almost just like a real mac now! 😆 In the photos you can see the 2222 transistor connected...

Heres a setup guide, notes on scaling and positioning and my LCD mounting bracket. Let me know if you need anything else I have a TON of notes but mostly partaining to my specific setup.

I’ll go through my notes and get you the config stuff and a zip with the files.

Hey it’s tavis with the micro Mac project. Let me know what you need and I’ll get them together. There’s an lcd mounting bracket and then I have some other various mounts I made for my other boards and speaker and stuff.

That’s the Talking Moose. Uses MacinTalk. You can get it on Macintosh garden or Macintosh repository. It’s a control panel. I had it on my Mac’s back in the 80s. Another good one is the Oscar’s the grouch one that pops out of the trash can when you empty the trash. yes I designed everything...

Ya I have a bunch of those too. Sometimes not 100% reliable. This was an afterthought and initially I just wanted a simple beep sound so you know the machine is alive before the display turns on. But then when I added the Bluetooth module it already makes a sound so I just took a stab at seeing...

It is on this. Funny coincidence but in this case it’s actually generating the sound with loops and pwm driving the speaker. but the Actual reason its called a startup sounder for the SFXbox is it was designed for this Williams arcade sound player thing I’m making and when you power THAT one up...

Haha those boards are actually for another project I’m working on. Just an easy way to wire up the inputs, outputs, and power to an AtTTiny. I love those, they are quickly becoming a favorite. the board is on OSHpark : https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/J4mnLdH0

🤣

Hahaha! I didnt even notice it was crossing out what was the big apple! hilarious. my first one had the exact same stickers as yours... two options.. I think I am FINALLY done with this project (yeah right) and I just made a short video and posted a new thread here with links to the video and...

Hey all, I think I am finally done with my rendition of a MacClock Hackintosh. I spent way too much time on this 🤣 I made a post in the Marchintosh thread but this one is more detailed and now it is finalized. I'll be making a build video soon but here is a youtube short: my additions: •...

what’s the front of your maclock look like, is it blank or is there a branding name printed on it? My first maclock has the company’s name on the front of it and THAT one came with the version of stickers that have alternate “Macintosh” and rainbow Apple logo. The second one that I hacked does...

Haha yeah I spent too much one time on those stickers. I looked at the Mac plus and made one that’s a close match. it came with stickers but no Apple logo just a rainbow colored square and nothing “Macintosh” and everything “Maclock” The boot up isn’t perfect but pretty good. theres 3...

Ah yeah I saw your post that’s awesome. The opposite. I’m hacking and tossing the clock and making it a Mac and you’re making a Mac into the clock. Hilarious. ya I’m still mucking with it. Going to embed a little Bluetooth module and speaker in it next. It runs system 6.0.8 good seems about the...

I just finished doing a MacClock to Mac Plus mod. Several have already done this but I wanted to take mine a bit of a step further. I scaled and positioned the screen to fit properly and got the pi to boot directly into Mini Vmac without putting up andy "Raspberry Pi" splash screens. Then I...

Glad you found this thread and replied! I have two originals working well with boxes and manuals and the button etc. and listened to the great interview with Kay Savetz here:

Did you need the DP9 type serial because you have an ImageWriter and not an ImageWriter II? I had to use the DIN style. I am doing the same.. The pi is just plugged into power and connected over WiFi.
