Build a Tiny Working Macintosh from a RaspberryPi

If you’re seeking out a very unique hobby project or weekend endeavor, perhaps you’d be interested in building a tiny working Macintosh out of a RaspberryPi?

Nobody said it would be easy, but if you’re adventurous, dedicated, and patient enough, you can follow a set of instructions to build your very own Tiny Mac out of a Raspberry Pi 4 and some 3D printed components to make your own miniaturized original Macintosh enclosure.

• Check out the Tiny Mac instructions here
• Check out another Tiny Mac instruction set here

Check the video below to see the latter instruction set as a functioning machine, it’s pretty cool!

Is it practical? Probably not, but not everything has to be practical, sometimes hobby projects are just plain fun and impractical, right?

A tiny, WORKING, OG Mac!!!!

So small. That tiny “floppy disk”. Officially adorable. 🔥https://t.co/N9W7CLJdNv#Hackintosh #Apple #Macintosh pic.twitter.com/y5UpBpDGyR

Cheers to @davemark for finding this on Twitter

And if you aren’t quite ready to dive into this project, you can still have some retro computing fun of the Macintosh variety by using System 7 in a web browser.
