Summary

  • The third version of Apple’s all-in-one Mac, the Macintosh Plus, has inspired a project to create a modern motherboard in a mini-ITX form factor.
  • The prototype is still in its early stages, but shows progress towards a release version.
  • The only socketed component is the 68000 processor, with all other parts soldered, but a 4MB memory specification is well-specified for a Mac Plus.
  • The project intends to emulate the Macintosh Plus for those who do not have the original.
  • Progress can be monitored on the 68kmla.org forum and users are encouraged to share their own retro computing projects.
