New blog post: Macintosh Emulation and Printing using Mini VMac on a PocketCHIP

In this post I go over how I got Mini VMac compiled on the PocketCHIP with LocalTalk options enabled. I also go over how I printed to a real ImageWriter II as well as browsed the web with Netscape 2.0!

Thanks in advance for a boost!

On the screen of the PocketCHIP is the same document that's in the printer but in color as displayed in Quark XPress.

Minesweeper because solitaire didn’t place the cards right (probably because of the weird screen size?)

Picking up this project from two years ago, I finally printed a bezel and key set for my PocketCHIP. I printed it with Polar Retro Platinum and used waterslide decals for the key tops and badge with Univers 57 font.
