Macintosh 2004 Case Mod

NOTD665 writes "'On January 24 [1984], Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like "1984."' This was the pronouncement at the end of Apple's commercial, which TV Guide magazine would later deem the greatest commercial of all time. Aired during the 1983 Super Bowl, the now famous Apple Macintosh '1984' commercial informed the world that the age of modern, home PCs was coming. Get ready. Here comes the Mac... Finally, one fateful day in December, the Mac's slumber was awoken yet again. It was time for the Mac to be reborn." Too bad it doesn't run Mac OS X.

    A couple of third-party vendors popped up back in those days that managed to retrofit a SCSI port into old pre-Plus Macs using little daughterboards that fit in the ROM sockets. You'd move the ROMS onto the daughterboard. I know this because I was one of those vendors.
