Just wondering if himself or any of the guys that mod in his spirit are aware of the Pandora or have one and are in the middle of hacking, painting, smearing in bondo and rubbing down etc.

Maybe they're going to mod one into a toaster or a NES...

This is just meant to be a fun thread to discuss wild Pandora mods that really may happen - don't get all pompus on us :p .

I sort of want to put one in to a ZX Spectrum. You could put 4 USB ports down the back of it too.

Could you run a Pandora without the LCD screen connected, or would it throw a complete paddy at the idea?

Yes, via the TV out.

That would be amazing. Are you going to save some parts and try it at some point?

why don't put it in a Cambridge Z88 case?
After all the Z88 was called "Pandora" during prototyping ...

When you think about it, the Pandora is the closest console on the market to one of Ben Heck's creations.

Ben Heck could make it even more portable.

Is that a tic-tac?
No, just my Pandora. I did a couple of mods.

I'm at a loss as to how that's MORE portable. Could you elaborate on that?

A crazy Idea would be a Pandora-Alternative-Case-Modeling-Contest, I always think about it, when I dig into the Replica Prop Forum.
therpf.com
Take some time and browse there, it's amazing what people can create "out of nothing". :) I've never seen such technics and methods before, very interesting stuff. ^^
I really wonder, what talented prop/model makers could do with a Pandora. ;)
 
I want a solid stainless steel case, or perhaps milled aircraft aluminum. If only the case models were available, I'd try to get one built.
