Posting my 130xe laptop (XEBook) here. grand plan is to do a short run of them once some more details are ironed out (making an all in one consolidated power and sound management board and CNC milling the hinges myself to shave costs down) or offer conversion kits. Inside is an original 130Xe...

I plan on making a build video on my YouTube channel. I’m going to be making a third one and I’ll video the process and go over the details of how it was made initially. Honestly I’m not even trying to profit off them. The thing is after putting weeks of time into it and designing the circuit...

Yes but no takers.. its too expensive.. The problem is my cost is about $170 to $180 and then they take me AT LEAST 3 hours to build one. I dropped the price to $250 but still no interest and at that price it's a bit rough to make it worth it after building, testing, packing, shipping... so I...

Thanks yes I ran into he same issue with the labels and ended up making my own set. I also made some reproduction floppy disks that I print in high res and they are almost the same quality. Some of the Maclocks are even worse and have their branding stamped on the front of the case but where...

Yes you could do that with a lower cost pi. Make a 3d printed enclosure. Use a larger less expensive lcd panel. Most of the higher cost here with mine is the $35 pi and the $50 lcd screen. And then the nicer injected molded case is a gutted $30 Maclock.

Ok when my boards get here I’ll put one together for you.

I was a Mac software developer from 1992 to today and remember when CodeWarrior died and XCode took over. Sad times. I loved CodeWarrior it made programming more fun and that classic metal stamp sound when the compiler finished (turns out the gate closing sound in Prince of Persia is the EXACT...

Hey'all I posted on 68KMla about offering some kits to any DIYers that might want to build their own Mini Mac Plus using my customized hardware and software. video if you haven't seen what I am talking about: if you might be interested just let me know r leave a post here or on the main...

😂 DUCK damn autocorrect!

On the dick one they also record all the Rohs energy stuff in the large label.

A friend just got one and I asked him if it has Apple branded sticker. And nope but now u get a duck!?

But wait. There’s more!

haha well i am at a stopping point i've spent far too much time on this! LOL

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.
