Nick Gillard has successfully created a miniature replica of the original 1984 Apple Mac, called the pico-mac-nano, measuring just 62 mm tall. Drawing inspiration from Matt Evans' project, Gillard's version stands out with its pocket-sized design, allowing USB keyboard and mouse support. Built around a Raspberry Pi Pico chip and a custom 2-inch LCD screen, the device maintains quality by adjusting firmware to suit its resolution. Gillard emphasizes open-source accessibility, enabling others to purchase parts and construct their own version of this functional, nostalgic tech.
Nick Gillard's miniature Mac, inspired by Matt Evans' pico-mac, is 62 mm tall, functional, and allows users to build their own replica using modern parts.
