Your design reminded me of something I thought of while looking at Ben's IIgs
laptop. Didn't Apple use ADB as the internal connection bus for the keyboard
and pointing device all the way up until like the G4 powerbooks? It would be
way cool to have a trackpad on a IIgs laptop, even though I personally hate
using trackpads
A trackball from an older 68K powerbook would be a better choice IMHO...
also the keyboards are nice and compact, though not as nice as the IIc
keyboard.
On another tack: how hard would it be to run one of these off batteries?
My understanding is that you'd need both 12V and 5V, so 8+3 AA's??? How
much power does a stripped IIgs board use? I'd guess using CFFA instead of
floppy drives would cut down considerably on power use...
