For Marchintosh 2023, I've put together a description of how I brought the logicboard of my childhood Macintosh SE back to life using a VGA video adapter board I made using a Raspberry Pi Pico. More details are available at https://github.com/guruthree/mac-se-v....

Description: In March 2023, I embarked on a nostalgic journey to revive the logic board of my beloved childhood Macintosh SE. Armed with creativity and technical know-how, I managed to breathe new life into this vintage computer using a custom VGA video adapter board that I crafted using a Raspberry Pi Pico.

The process was not without its challenges, but the satisfaction of witnessing the classic Macintosh SE display come alive once again made it all worth it. I meticulously documented the entire journey and have shared the step-by-step process on my GitHub repository, offering a comprehensive guide for others who wish to undertake a similar project.

With this ingenious adaptation, the Macintosh SE now boasts enhanced graphics capabilities, thanks to the VGA video adapter board driven by the powerful Raspberry Pi Pico. As I reminisce about the days of my childhood, I feel a deep sense of accomplishment in preserving this vintage gem and giving it a new lease of life.
