Old Apple Disk Drive holds Mac Mini Within

Posted by on Feb 23, 2009 in Featured Articles, News | 315 comments

 

  Instead of waiting for that new Mac Mini to be released, why not do what Charles Mangin has done?  He has managed to displace the innards of his Mac Mini into an old 5 1/4 floppy drive.  In what is one of the most interesting uses of historical Apple hardware, Charles has managed to make use of his old defunct hardware by getting with the "Green" theme that so adorns Apple these days.  Follow the link to see the rest of the pics and enjoy such a retro device in your modern setting for all to be intrigued by.

    I have 2 of those drives myself, but I also have the Apple ][+ they’re for. I want to get it working, but I’m afraid if I try to boot it up it won’t work. :(
