SMRTR summary

OSHintosh is an open-source replica of a Macintosh 512Ke logic board built entirely without Apple hardware, booting from a ROM chip instead of a disk drive. It runs on an ATX power supply, uses cheap two-layer PCB design costing around £6 per board, and connects to AppleTalk networks for file access.
