| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2012-03-30 23:16:13 First external config experimentation:   I've got a, full scale, compact PS-2 KBD in "platinum" and a Black USB Mouse a tad smaller than the MacAlly somewhere around here, but converting a Newton KBD would probably be the best "display/backup" KBD. Are they Duo-Gray, darker, lighter or some other MacColor? The KDS/Radius RAD-5b is supposedly black, darker than PB Gray as is and I'm considering options for the final color scheme of the hack. It's easy enough to get a 15" LCD to paint whatever i want, but I may try to find a very small, wide screen LCD TV w/VGA input for this A-B/B-A KVM switched NetTop. Mostly it'll be used on my main KVM setup with a 22" 1080p HP Monitor, but I want it to be fully functional "on the side" when I'm using one of several "other" Macs, the ubuntuGIMPbox™ or one of the HP-Maxi/Mini Duo on the main workstation KVM. Eventual triple boot setup to be Linux/Classic Mac OS Emulator/PussyCatMacOS Related threads leading up to this atrocity to be posted: | |

| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2012-03-31 14:32:49 That's why it's a first off! I can always plunk the Paladin ProtoKBD in front of it to run my soon to be SE on top of it and just run the the NetTop off the KVM. [😀] ]'> I've also got a pair of adjustables and the chicklety IIgs ADB that's pure "Snow White!" :approve: | |
| Posted by: techknight on 2012-03-31 15:36:40 Well, either paint the CD SC black, OR.... find some white peripherals, like a white LCD monitor. or something... | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2012-03-31 17:07:41 Right now I'm just going for the right size and "look" of the peripherals, not worrying about color matching as yet Everything will match, it's a matter of what to dye what color. Right now I'm leaning toward matching the right compact KBD, which is why I asked if the Newton KBD is lighter or darker than Duo Gray, or some other color. However, using it as a support for the SE would be good, but one of my 128k/Plus Systems may be the best course of action. Dunno, fielding suggestions, ATM! :?: | |
