Michael Pick, whose nickname is The Casual Engineer, has created a home-built “MacBook Mini” that he calls the world’s smallest MacBook…
It’s not a Hackintosh. It’s actually running an OS called iRaspbian, but it does give a pretty convincing impression of macOS at first glance.
The machine runs on a Raspberry Pi 4, and Pick has successfully run Chrome on it.
On this tutorial I show you how to run Mac OS 9 on your Raspberry PI, I have also included a compiled version of pearpc if you feel adventurous enought to run mac os x 10.4. I worked really hard getting this to compile and everything together. Raspberry Pi 3 Amazon Ebay. The release, known as iRaspbian, mimics the look and feel of the Apple Mac OS X operating system. The iRaspbian image is available for the Raspberry Pi, working great on the Raspberry Pi 4.
Tom’s Hardware explains more about iRaspbian.
If you’re looking for a classic Mac experience on the Raspberry Pi, you have to check out this new Raspbian skin from Grayduck and Pi Lab. The release, known as iRaspbian, mimics the look and feel of the Apple Mac OS X operating system.
The iRaspbian image is available for the Raspberry Pi, working great on the Raspberry Pi 4. It has menus, icons, and interfaces that strongly resemble the Apple operating system whose first version debuted in 2001.
Since the new image is essentially Raspbian, you can expect to run many of the same applications as before without issue. All of your Raspbian menus and tools are accessible through the Mac OS X-themed interface. iRaspbian is also supposed to work well for streaming media and supports Steam and even Android mirroring.
For the hardware, Pick goes back in time a little, opting for a MagSafe connector and a glowing Apple logo.
Pick has previously created what he says is the world’s smallest gaming PC, and if you prefer iMacs to MacBooks, he’s created a miniature version of that too — also powered by a Raspberry Pi 4.
Raspberry Pi Running Mac Os
One of the more impressive aspects of the build is that he went to the trouble to do cutouts for each key.
Take a look at the video below for a full run-through of the build and the finished result.

I’ve recently introduced a Raspberry PI 4 as main remote RTX controller for my Kenwood TS-590s.
This allows me to control the Kenwood TS-590S from the iMac simultaneously with several applications, including RUMLOG, FLDIGI, WSJT-X.
The issue
Could not control simultaneously my transceiver directly from two or more applications. Additionally remote connection from the internet requires a PC always turned on or at least the possibilty to power on with wake-on-lan
Cause
The usage of the USB Port is exclusive
Workaround
An alternative solution is to run the FLRIG on the iMac, and connect the applications to the local loopback 127.0.0.1.
I’m using RUMLOG by DL2RUM as main logging program both as main logging and for contest logging as well. FLDIGI for common digital modes and WSJT-X for weak signals digital modes.
What do you need
On the MAC you need to reconfigure the programs, in order to use FLRIG as Radio. Basically FLRG acts as a gateway to your radio.
Rumlog configuration
FLDIGI Configuration
WSJT-X Configuration
On the Raspberry you need to configure the connection with the USB to Serial cable connected to the RS-232 port of the TS-590S.
If you have issues on selecting the USB Port or you have multiple one, check the status of the USB connections with lsusb command
