Where are the brilliant ADB hackers when you need them?
It seems quite possible to make an SE behave like a Mac II, using an
ADB device that controls a power relay, and senses the "on" button on
the keyboard. The SE's power cord would route into this device, which
would draw power from the wall. You could leave your Mac SE turned
on all the time, with the real control coming from the adb device.
Manufacturing cost should be about $20, so you know someone will sell
it for $200 or more.
Also, what about ADB devices to schedule periodic startup/shutdown on
your Mac II? One of these days, when i want it bad enough, I'll build
one of these. One small time chip and a relay chip to turn on my Mac
II and run a calendar program of some sort..... Or what the h*ll,
just use an Intermatic wall-timer....
