I really like that! I wonder what that board was cut from.

Bet you a nickel it's a Power Macintosh 7200. (Do a Google Image Search for "Power Macintosh 7200 Motherboard". The "PowerPC" text is right under the CPU.)

Works with this "old school" word processor, with built-in Unicode support and unlimited undos! (Search and replace, alas, may still be a little slow.)

In the words of Tom Servo after looking at the Flickr photo: "Oh, man. That's disgusting! ..."

(You see, Tom Servo is one of the robots from Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). But I'm sure you knew that already.)

Alas, I've found that while the manufacturer claims to support unlimited undos, the hardware will typically develop "memory holes" after just a few undos.

As much as I think its a waste of a Mac motherboard (assuming it worked), I have to say...I like it!
