Do you have an old Macintosh computer laying around? Why not blow off the dust and follow these simple steps to do an upgrade to OS X? You don’t even have to spend hundreds of hours creating the source code for the custom microcontrollers that interface the system together since it is available for free on the site. The most interesting part of the project for me was the circuit that allows the old original keyboard and mouse to be used with the Mini. It is based on an Atmel AT90USB162 microcontroller, which is basically a standard AVR µC with a special coprocessor dedicated to USB signaling. It comes with a C library that makes it relatively easy to create USB devices like HID keyboards and mice, speakers, storage devices, etc.”

I’d appreciate it if someone replied to this, so thanks for your time in advance.

[...] problem in this instance lies in adapting something old to function in a new way. It’s like installing OS X onto a Macintosh 512K: it can be done, and it will probably work just fine, but the experience isn’t nearly as [...]
