Mike Willegal to lead ‘BYO SwyftCard’ workshop at VCF East 9.1

EDIT: Mike wrote in to clarify that he’s custom making a reproduction of the SwyftCard and that it won’t be based on his SuperProto hack. Given Mike’s eye for detail, it’s going to be every bit as good as the real thing.

Good news for SwyftCard enthusiasts, Mike Willegal has implemented the SwyftCard using his SuperProto board. In addition, he will be offering a workshop to build a reproduction SwyftCard during VCF East 9.1, April 4th-6th at the InfoAge Science Center in Wall, New Jersey.

The SwyftCard is the brainchild of Jef Raskin, who started the Macintosh project while at Apple. They’re relatively hard to find and some enthusiasts consider them collectible, along with it’s successor the Canon Cat. Mike has a nice write-up of the SwyftCard here.
