Macintosh Classic II - 9,7” conversion-

Hello Kmare,
Good question I'm trying the board with aDell monitor on HDMI; it did not give a picture under Win10. VGA was no problem with that. Later on with the HDMI-VGA adapter to the 9.7” screen, it did work instantly. Don’t ask me why.
Did not get into Big Sur conversion yet, but should work- better ask Luki!-
Enjoy!
Let me know. I think something wrong w/out BIOS. I tried VGA this AM with Big Sur. Same issue - when igpu FrameBuffer initializes, I get blank screen.

Maybe just try Windows first to see if hardware is functioning 100% for sure, without problems. I am not familiar with hackintoshes…and their hickups. That's what I did, and why I went this route.
 
Apparently all fixed -- issue is that all igpu ports are mapped to display port not HDMI. Below patch in opencore fixed it! Believe last thing for me to do is fix front USB ports, but not super urgent

Thats good to hear!
Any plans special for the ITX enclosure?
 
Special for me -- I run macOS as a server; upgrading this case from a very old ITX board.

Hard to believe but this case has been running 24/7 for a little over 10 years as an macOS server. It is super compact for 4xSATA Removable Drive bays. These are convenient to swap upgrade/failed drives.

I've been using a Silverstone DS380 24/7 since the end of 2015 for my NAS and Plex server. It's not very pretty but does the job well.

Thats a very sweet compact server. Time flies.
