This page is dedicated to the works of technological art made by J.J. Garrison.

The Boombox
This is a portable stereo by RCA, fitted with an LCII motherboard, power supply and hard drive (40 MB). The 'open' view shows the back of ther motherbord with the hard drive's cable winding tightly around the cutiot where the fan would mount. At bottom is the hard drive. th epower supply is sent into the side of the case at th eleft-sparker side. You remove the spaker to use the machine. At the top, where the CD player was, a CD rom would mount. This is a working computer, with System 7.1, 10 MB RAM, and 256 colors with a single VRAM.

The Toaster
The Toaster is a Mac IIci case fitted with an LC II motherboard. The IIci's hard drive and floppy drive assembly were moved sideways and fixed into place with short screws, and a slot was cut where the floppy-drive would poke out of the case so floppies could be used.
The LC's power supply was used. It was fastenend to the rear of the machine and the case was modified so the on-off switch could be accessed, and so the cords would fit into the LCII's holes. The word IIci was removed form the case, so it only says 'Macintosh' on the front. It is a working modification, not a mockup. It runs System 7.1 with 10 MB RAM and 2-256k VRAM sticks for thousands of colors.
