Incredible miniature replica of the original 1984 Apple Macintosh computer engineered to function just like its full-sized predecessor.
The pico-mac-nano by Nick Gillard is just 62mm tall, features a working screen, and USB keyboard / mouse support.
Inspired by Matt Evans’ pico-mac project, this Miniature Apple Macintosh is built around the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller.
It runs a custom emulator capable of booting Macintosh System 3 and displaying a fully functional black-and-white desktop environment.
The entire system has been reengineered to work with a 2″ LCD display panel in portrait orientation.
3D printed Macintosh case inspired by the original 1984 Mac’s design comes with detailed front panel and accurate port placement.
Computer ships in a mini replica of the original Picasso Mac box, complete with 3D printed foam inserts and a white plastic accessory case.
Tiny Macintosh has a 2” 480×640 LCD panel. That means it runs a native 480x342px Mac screen, with sharp B&W visuals, just like the original.
The Pi Pico Zero and micro-SD reader fit inside where the original logic board would be. The USB-C port is even positioned where the real ports were.
Micro-SD card slot is fully functional and lets you boot custom disk images.
This cool project is a love letter to early computing. A 62mm slice of history, Miniature Apple Macintosh powered by modern microcontrollers.
The pico-mac-nano is an adorably tiny, hand-sized replica of the original 1984 Macintosh computer.
