Animal House residents may remember my pet project of rebuilding a Colour Classic with PowerPC insides. The one I started back in 2003. Well, with my nifty Futurlec 3.3V VREG boards, I now I have the last bit I required to get the thing going.
And it works, woo!
Ok, there's no Red video, but I'm sure that's fixable easily enough. Nor a power cable for the hard drive, again, not a problem. Nor a network interface (mmm OS9 compatible RTL8139 maybe).
But, it boots up into the finder and shows OS9 on it's tiny little 9 inch CRT. Yay finally.
Also today, gave Ducktronics to Unisfa. Will wander over next week to steal their dead one and some money from someone.
Still a bit annoyed that the iBook G4 is still dead, but oh well.
