Title: Amiga Logo Stickers for eMac/Mac Mini, etc.
Post by: XDelusion on June 18, 2010, 04:56:26 PM
So I purchased this for use with MorphOS (hopefully I'm not going to be too late for the sale).

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380243538924&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

And now I would like to know if there are Amiga stickers available to put in place of the APPLE logo (assuming I tear it apart and remove the logo or what ever I have to do).

I know it's kind of cheesy, but I'd like to forget that I own a Mac you know? :)

If worse comes to worse, I may do some sort of paint job on it.

Here is one at amigakit.
http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=402

here are a few ore from zazzle.
http://www.zazzle.com.au/amiga+stickers

I know somewhere they are selling stickers with a boingball that is a bit thicker then normal stickers with transparent plastic and rounded edges on top, tho I think they sold a limited number because of rights issues, but I cant remember where I bought mine :(

Edit: Tho im going to respray my Mac Mini and spray a nice logo on it :)

Wouldn't a butterfly be more apppropriate?

Or a Dreamcast Linux Penguin. ;)

Thought about it, then went for the 3D BoingBall off Ebay, 5 of them to be exact in case I get more machines.

Yeah, that's cheesy.  Sort of like putting Linux Tux stickers on a PC to cover up the XP or Windows Vista sticker.

Cool! But how? Are you an airbrush artist by chance? Or are you going to hand it over to someone else?

Yeah I agree!

The Morpho butterfly (which exists for real) is really pretty. Bright, yet in a way deep blue, shiny colors. Do that instead! :)

http://www.butterflyutopia.com/blue_morpho.html

And the Morpho butterfly is perhaps a bit more relevant in the MorphOS context? ;)
Title: Re: Amiga Logo Stickers for eMac/Mac Mini, etc.
Post by: Karlos on June 18, 2010, 08:05:38 PM
Yeah, I'd say the butterfly would be an appropriate image given the obvious association with MorphOS and the morpho. For total win, you could use something epic, like broccoli, for example :D

Anyway, speaking of mac mini case mods, this (http://steampunkworkshop.com/daveveloz.shtml) one is pretty cool IMO.

I don't know, but it's a common nerd theme, and this little guy shows up everywhere: http://www.mcphee.com/shop/products/Captain-Corndog-vs.-Baron-Von-Broccoli.html. I would go the Trekkie route and use a Lt. Barclay / Dwight Schultz image.

Well, my reference to broccoli here was in relation to the amiga.org meme (started, IIRC by Mr A500 with his hardware fix that used the elastic band from a bunch of the stuff), rather than any more general one kicking about :)

Not sure how well you'd get this onto a case, but...

Aww yeah.

My Sam440ep box has the little replica Amiga boing ball badge that Cloanto shipped with early versions of Amiga Forever.

Well It's nothing that fancy, respraying the case (Probally just 2 colors), removing the top plexi and cutting an exact replacement from red plexiglass and cutting holes for the Boingball with white lights under.

But ill do that when I got time :)
I can say I bought alot of PC mod material a few years ago when a company went bust and I payed nearly nothing for alot of stuff so I must use the stuff on all machines I got :P

Edit: I might add that the Mac Mini I bought was quite scratchy on the top plexi, so im doing the machine a favour ;)

That 19th century looking Mac Mini is AMAZING!

As for the buttefly...

...ok, are there Butterfly stickers available?

And why is it every time someone tries to talk about using MorphOS, someone always has to shift the conversation to Broccoli?!

But I can't stop laughing thinking about broccoli effect!!! It's not loyal from you... bwah!!

How can you not marvel at the sheer awesomeness of the Tsar Broccoli? Enough of the epic green stuff to produce a flatus with the power of 50 million tons of TNT...

I'm getting an Apple G4 mobo with nVidia graphics (don't have detailed specs so far but looks like it will be 750 MHz or 1 GHz) so I'm having high hopes this kind of hardware might become supported in near future, resulting in me getting a MorphOS machine. If I had an eMac tho, I'd go for something like this:

It's just a shopped quickie ... but easy enough to make, all it would take is a paint job and a vinyl sticker. But of course it would also require a matching keyboard and mouse.

Unfortunately nvidia does not provide any documentation about their chipsets and thus we're not planning to add support.

Please refer to the supported hardware (http://www.morphos-team.net/hardware.html) page.

You part of the MorphOS team or something?


@Dementhor: That sort of paint job would be ideal, though I must admit, it could use some Broccoli!

How about investigating the nouveau (http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/) drivers? I'm not suggesting using the code directly, but the required information needed to create a CGX driver for a range of nividia hardware is surely in there somewhere. You've also got gallium as an inspiration if you want to 3D support.

It's a pity that neither the p96 or CGX driver SDKs are available to the community at large :-/

As mentioned above, I'm willing to be hopeful that the Nouveau might provide some clues if not code in the future; meanwhile I'll investigate the possibility of getting a suitable graphics card from ATI, the machines had an AGP 4x slot, and Apple seem to have used Radeon 9000 with 64 MB VRAM as a cheaper alternative.

So I guess there's hope after all ... (^__^ )
