The UMAX SuperMac S900 is a beautiful relic from the very darkest days of Apple, where the foundering company attempted to license Mac OS to other manufacturers in a desperate bid to increase their dwindling market share. Although this backfired and nearly killed Apple for good, the UMAX machine is an amazing alternate-universe Macintosh with some interesting features and a surprise hiding inside...

In this series, we'll see how far we can upgrade the SuperMac S900 and maybe even bring it on to the modern internet.
