Hi,
Wanted to share that BasiliskII running through X11 in OSX 10.4 Tiger (and with working slirp ethernet ! ) works perfectly when installed through Pkgsrc for PPC.
Details here : https://www.geeklan.co.uk/?p=1579
I wanted to have a BasiliskII VM available via ssh -X from another machine , have it already on a R-Pi3, bur ssh connection from older machines fails due to incompatible cyphers on latest Debian/raspbian version...
So here it is running on Powerbook Pismo . It's slow for sure, but I'll try it next on a imac G5 1.8Ghz, should be more usable, even more for a ssh -X connection...
I've tried using the same BasiliskII from Pkgscr on a MacMini PPC running 10.5 Leopard, but it fails (apparently some libs missing). Pkgsrc for PPC packages are better optimised for Tiger.
Not sure what that bar is, but for a second there, I thought I was looking at NeXTStep, not OS X :D
Those squares look exactly like NeXT's plugin system that eventually morphed into the OS X dock. And the X Windows window looks just like the old NeXT widgets.
I have minivmac installed in ARM board Odroid U2. Except playing game, it works quite well through X Server. But it really depends on network speed. All my ARM board has HDMI. If I run any UI, I'd connect to TV directly.
BTW, I think it would be fun to build a retro Mac by emulating them in ARM board, home-brew Mac case and LCD screen. The reto mac case takes time to build. I think Apple still has patent on its case design. Thus, you can't find CAD file to build it from 3D printer.
There is an App for that!

Apple can't still have a patent on the 128K Mac design; that design was patented in 1983. Aren't patents 30 years in the US? That means that any design Mac Plus and earlier should be fair game now (except where they've extended the design patent).
That said, you could also just find an old broken unibody Mac enclosure on eBay or at a flea market and retrofit it. Or go older, and drop it all into a custom Apple enclosure (since those were hobby kits to begin with).
You can always design it in Sketchup and then export to DXF (AutoCAD).
Lots of base models at https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search ... Class=both although I'm not sure how many of them are CAD-level (proper measurements, using objects and groups, etc.). This will give you the outside, and then you have to work on adjusting the inside mounts to fit your hardware.
with wmclockmon and wmcpuload dock apps running.
