What is it? ⬪ Shopping list ⬪ Hardware build ⬪ Software install ⬪ Donate I recorded a full build video that you can watch here . --- What is it? A Maclock is a cheap alarm clock built into a shockingly accurate miniature Macintosh shell. This project guts one and rebuilds it around a Raspberry Pi Zero running a real 68k or PowerPC emulator, so the tiny Mac actually boots System 7, plays the startup chime, and runs vintage software. Buttons, brightness, sound, wi-fi, bluetooth, and battery all work. Shopping List - Maclock - Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W - Waveshare 2.8 inch IPS LCD - Adafruit PAM8302 audio amp + small speaker - 3D printed screen bezel - Macintosh Mini breakout board — for brightness, buttons, and sound. Order from PCBway. - You can use my referral code to get $5 off your order, if you want. - MicroUSB to USB-A female cable — to add a USB port to the back. Choose Color: OTGV8DO-AFH . Hardware Build Follow the Maclock hardware guide to assemble the Macintosh Mini. I also recorded a walkthrough video that goes into much more detail than the written guide. Software — Quick Install 1. Flash the OS. Install Raspberry Pi OS (Lite) 64-bit onto an SD card. 2. Bring your own Mac OS. Copy a Mac OS disk image and a ROM file to the Pi — the installer auto-discovers them in $HOME . Two emulators are offered (it defaults to Basilisk II ): - Basilisk II — a 68k Mac running System 7.0–8.5.
