My #tinyMac hardware build is complete, just in time for #MARCHintosh! It was surprising just how much of a challenge squeezing all the hardware and cabling into the case was in the end. The underlying Linux OS is Bluetooth paired with a spare, modern, Magic Mouse and Keyboard.
Now to get some interesting software on it, and try to get it on #globaltalk

Some work on the #TinyMac this afternoon…
The IPA did the trick to loosen the hot glue holding the 18650 cell in (although I damaged the inside of the case a little levering it out 🤷♂️).
And, after some gentle trimming of the guides around the display on the front case, the display is now properly centred. Measure it first with the display centre and only cut out a gap wide enough to hold the display (use a sharp craft knife and side cutters), this helps hold it in place.

Some pics of the mods I made. Cut sections are highlighted in yellow where possible.
-
First is where I removed the ridge around the inside of the display aperture. This allows the display to be mounted physically offset, but visually centered
-
Second is modification of the floppy receptacle to hold the SD card extender. Just remove the bottom and rear to allow it to fit
-
Third is the floppy slot on the front case. Remove ~1mm. Do it carefully with a fine file

And here’s the SD card extender and display in place, and a front view with an SD card in the floppy slot.
With that little bit of plastic removed from the bottom of the floppy slot the SD card slides in and out freely.
You should also be able to see how the display is offset to the left of the image, with a gap to the right.
If I were a CAD/3D expert I’d make an armature to fix it to those screw holes along the top and bottom 🤔
