" I'd like to see someone take a Mac TV, gut it and put a Mac Mini inside with a USB ATSC TV tuner. Either keep the original CRT or replace it with the innards from a same size SVGA CRT monitor. Bonus points if you can keep the original Mac TV remote working with it.
if the original Mac TV remote is infrared, its very easily possible. on Windows and Linux exists a program called LIRC that will decode the infrared signals from most any remote control, using one of a few different simple homebrew receiver circuits, and translate the button commands into keyboard button presses or special keycodes like Windows multimedia keyboard buttons, F-keys, volume up/down, etc. this program might also have been ported to the Mac OS too but i don't know. would be a very cool project for someone to do and if anyone does, please put it up somewhere in detail so i can read all about it :)" Why gut a Mac TV? Why not paint an old AIO Mac (Or do you mean use a dead Mac TV? I would love to hack one of those cases) -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
