Looks like someone has lots of toys for custom-fabbing a case, keyboard, and
other bits and pieces.  The end result is fairly impressive.

What'd really kick *ss, of course, would be to see something similar that
was Apple II-compatible.  The main sticking point would be the lack of a
suitably-small motherboard.  Maybe it'd be feasible to build a small
motherboard around a Mega II scrounged from one of those Mac LC add-on
cards.  OTOH, depending on the availability (or lack thereof) of
documentation for the Mega II, an FPGA reimplementation (as the Replica-1
did with the Apple I) might be the better way to go.
