This is a SuperMac SuperView, a weird eGPU from 1992 that works over... SCSI?!

Let's see what kind of fun we can have with it.

I, as an idiot, read the title as "i built a monastery" Why is my brain like this.

The "Why? Because I can!" approach at its finest! Nice to see the return of the beloved Cursed Mac :)

What you’ve done here is BRILLIANCE.—Cursed Mac, 65scribe, and a portable television all in one video—BRILLIANCE.

That's a nice 90's TV show hacker setup.

In the Monitors control panel you can drag the menu bar to the second monitor to make it the principal monitor. So you can have your apps and games start directly on this monitor even if they don’t have a monitor selection screen

if someone wants to reverse engineer this I would buy the heck out of it (oh! and LOVE the 65scribe reference!)

Sounds like the "USB to VGA" adapters we had in the 00's

I remember my grade school had one of these in the computer lab hooked up to a large TV so we could see the teacher demonstrate things!

0:15 You just need a USB-C to SCSI adapter

"...but I have an even better, more hilarious idea!" have to say, I love it when a plan starts off like that...

Thanks for the slice of perfectly normal computing to start the day! Delicious!

I once owned the "Outbound Outrigger" monochrome SCSI portrait monitor. It it had its own 512Kb video memory, 68000 CPU at 20MHz and 640 by 872 pixels resolution. It was a bit slow and very limiting in OS choice.

I have been scouring the internet for obscure hardware for over 25 years and it is amazing that there are still hidden gems out there. A SCSI external video device? WHAAAAAAAT?

Reminded me of a US Robotics modem in design. SCSI is cool though how it allowed other devices other than hard drives and CD-ROM's. There were Ethernet adapters too but also not as common.

Being able to add a color display to my monochrome computer back in 1991 would have absulutely blown my mind.

Now that the "cursed Mac" is upgraded to the max and all fixed up, is it the "blessed Mac"?

I like how it's like the OG dongle to compensate for the lack of IO in apple laptops ...

No shame. This is exactly the sort of approach I take to retro-computing too. There’s two main camps. One is traditional purists,.. the other is,… more about the art of combining new hardware and features and pushing souped up vintage systems to do things they previously couldn’t, or was practically, or financially unfeasible, to do, in the past. It’s the same with vintage automobiles. One can be in one or both camps, or anything in between. I think the threshold from being a souped up vintage computer, to being a different system or machine, entirely, is when you take the original or reasonably equivalent motherboard, and system buss out of the equation of its totality. Everything else, is generally up to the individual’s discretion or whims. ❤
