I'm a keen retro Mac collector and OS 9 hobbyist, and I recently had the great fortune of acquiring not one, but two rare clamshell iBooks. I was thrilled at finding these beautifully designed old laptops, and gained both frustration and a lot of fun in my journey to get the second one, a Blueberry original model, to run properly.
This video is an overview of my new iBook, of the hardware ingenuity required to get it to run, and of the many classic Mac games - some well-known, others obscure - that I loved as a kid.
