Yes folks, it's finally finished. The Banana Jr. lives! I have to say that I'm pretty happy with the final results.



The feet are plywood that have wood putty added to give them a bit of shape. The legs are two shift boots, bought at an automotive store. The floppy port slot now houses a usb port and I filled in the spot on the lower front right where the keyboard would normally plug in on a mac plus.

Here is a closeup of the modified mouse and keyboard.

On the inside.

1 Mac Mini 1.5 Ghz PowerPC G4

1 Lilliput 8" Touch Screen LCD 1024 x 768 (Native Resolution of 800 x 600)

1 USB Hub

1 Set of Speakers

1 Power Strip

The power supplies for all of the above.





Somewhere Steve Jobs feel a disturbance in the force!







The power strip is actually attached to the original Mac Plus switch and it uses the original plug receptacle as well. I converted the Mac Plus brightness knob into a push button for turning on the system.







I used two speakers that were actually in other macs. I attached these to the amplifier from a set of desktop speakers to give my Banana Jr. stereo.















BananOS



























Why does this picture look

familiar

?

The system is running Leopard but I've customized the OS to make it as Banana Jr-ish as possible. The only thing I wasn't able to change was the Apple Menu.
