A vintage computing enthusiast and fan of retro Apple computers has built the first new Apple Macintosh Plus compatible clone in 34 years. The electrical engineer adds it to their previous work cloning the Apple Lisa but says the job’s not done yet.
Posting on Mastodon as DosFox, the enthusiast said they had been trying to bring this project to fruition for years. “Theoretically this project is even older than the Lisa project — I only built the Lisa as I couldn’t build a Macintosh,” they wrote. Apparently, building the Lisa was the necessary jump-start since they successfully booted the Macintosh Plus clone almost precisely a year after first booting up the Lisa.
