On review the design isn't so outlandish since it was basically based on a
cast-off Macintosh motherboard, but still, it's a Hackintosh of sorts.

There were several such systems in the 80's, and I believe some were
commercially produced. Somewhere I might still have a book that is
either on repairing old Mac's or hacking on their hardware that
talked about several such systems, but I think I donated it to the
Library a few years ago when I ran out of room.

No, I'm pretty sure there were 2-3 desktops, I think normally based

I know about the various laptops -- is that what you're referring to?

I can't get this video to play for some reason. Cheesy linux netbook no doubt.
There was a Hackingtosh series in Computer Shopper. They (or the specific auhtor/s) may
not have coined the term originally - don't know. From what I recall they were using
amber serial terminals for displays. Or something like that.
Who the *h* wants to look at a green or amber screened Macintosh??? Sounds like a
Mockingtosh to me LOL LOL LOL LOL. Why doesn't some manufacture develop pink phosphors
and really much things up. Don't get me wrong I love me amber and green screens, in
their proper contexts. But not w/a Mac. Nuh uh.
Somewhat offtopic, but if anyone in the northeastern part of the US has any totally cool
PowerMac clones (Radius, Moto, etc.), I might be interested. As long as they're
totally cool.

What could be cooler than a green or amber screen'd Mac?
In mid 1980's somebody made an immitation of a Mac case for use as a case
for XT's !

O man I have my ears plugged up at this moment. Can't hear a word you're saying
sorry la la la la.
I will be your friend once more if you find me a k/b for my Sony model 10 thingee - the
only real Mac clone worth mentioning! And the prototype to boot!!!

Interesting.
I particularly like the music, too...
