Mini Pico-Mac-Nano Replicates 1984 Macintosh

Nick Gillard has developed the Pico-mac-nano, a fully functional, open-source replica of the original 1984 Apple Macintosh that stands just 2.4 inches tall. The device uses a Raspberry Pi Pico, a custom PCB, and features a 2-inch, 480x640-pixel LCD screen, microSD storage, and support for modern USB keyboards and mice, though some older software may not work seamlessly. Inspired by Matt Evans' Pico-mac, Gillard's project meticulously mimics the Macintosh's design, including a miniaturized, 3D-printed version of the original packaging. Assembled units are available for about $56, but all design files and code are open-source for DIY makers. The Pico-mac-nano has received attention for its technical achievement, nostalgic appeal, and accessibility to the maker community.
