It's starting to look & act like a #Xerox Dandelion. What’s pictured below is the 30% scale replica running #Mesa, #Lisp, and #Smalltalk. The tower has an internal chassis and a set of "skins” (top, left, right, and front). [Yes, the original has gaps between the skins.]
I'm still working on the floppy drive & control panel. I'll route the Micro-SD of the Pi out to the front somewhere. I'm still deciding on the MP display - it needs to be small. I may use an OLED.
