Re: Modern A2 successor

A 486 case is what I'm currently considering, but I'd rather have a modified
version of the II+/IIe case. All things considered, to get that 90's
appearance I'll probably have to go with the 486 case. Even Mac used a tower
case for its PPC computers which leads me to believe that if Apple had've
continued the II series, it would've abandoned the original case. This was
apparent with the case on the IIGS. I'm just trying to figure out how to
make the case seem more Apple-ish without running into litigation...
