DosFoxWith #MARCHintosh coming to a close, I'm happy to report that the OSHintosh has now been released on github!
Techokami@DosFox wait, there's only ROM, with no way to use any mass storage? 🤨 uhhhhhhhhhhh... what?
@techokami what do you mean what!
Aslak Raanes@techokami @DosFox The Macintosh Classic could (can, if the machine still works) boot System 6 from ROM. Should be good enough.
@aslakr @techokami it's sort of a spiritual successor to the XO project.
My line of thinking is that this is a sort of a RC2014 style Macintosh!
Xer Shadow Tail ☄️🌺🏳️⚧️@techokami @DosFox Being fitted around a RbPi Pico that would be due GPIO starvation. Having to build out a bigger circuit would increase the costs and basically make it to where getting the individual parts would be difficult due to long lead times.
Everything is incremental anyway, it can just be added in later.
Kiwa "meow" Tiger@DosFox this is pretty cool, love me some network based computers tbh
@kiwa you can either run it from the bootrom, or run programs over Appletalk.
Also because it has 512k of ram, the ROMs can be written to with the Rominator flasher!
@DosFox it's a pretty cool idea, even with all the downsizing i been doing i think i have enough parts to build one, tempting, I’m saving this for the future
@DosFox Very cool!
