The classic Platinum desktop, reborn for modern PCs: a complete Mac OS 8/9-style desktop for Debian Linux, drawn from scratch, with classic Mac emulation built in.
Functional replicas of the BookMac and BookMac Mini, Hartmut Esslinger's 1985 tablet concepts for Apple. Raspberry Pi 5, 9.7" touchscreen, custom PCBs, enclosure, decals, firmware. Hobbyist WIP; not affiliated with Apple.
A macOS proxy that lets your 1999 Mac browse the 2026 web. TLS bridging, HTML5→HTML 3.2 transcoding, image conversion, and a Wayback Machine time machine. Because your PowerBook deserves Wikipedia and your Quadra 605 didn't ask for React.
A GUI for several Macintosh emulators
Remote Apple Events for System 7, plus screenshots for context: anything can control, monitor and build on a classic Mac over a socket via MPW ToolServer — Basilisk II, SheepShaver, or real 68k hardware; TCP or serial. 30 MCP tools let any AI model drive it (frontier models already know MPW and Inside Macintosh); the bridge itself needs neither.
Classic Macintosh games and System 6, System 7 and Mac OS 8.6 running in a browser tab, on WebAssembly builds of Mini vMac, Basilisk II and SheepShaver.
