Description

Did you read that article over at Tom’s Hardware about the new Macintosh 128K emulator running on a Raspberry Pi Pico? Project creator Matt Evens knocked it out of the park on this one. While Matt does provide instructions for how to connect your Pico the input devices as well as VGA video output using perfboard, our buddy Ron has created a complete assembly that really speeds up getting started.
