The Original Macintosh Anecdotes about the development of Apple's original Macintosh computer, and the people who created it. (73 stories)
I've spent several hours over the past week reading these fascinating stories, mostly from Andy Hertzfeld. The site celbrates the 20th anniversary of the Mac introduction.

Hmmm.. That looks interesting. I've been wondering about a hardware detail for a few months now. Doing a Google search on the part number for the 9" black and white CRT used in the compacts, I came across a company selling replacements along with the "circuit board for black and white security monitors". When I got the things some examination revealed that the circuitry on board is nearly identical to the early Mac analog boards.
So now I'm wondering if they lifted the video circuitry for the original Mac from an early 9" black and white security monitor.... These CRTs were meant as replacements fro the security monitors but they're the same model of CRT used in teh Macs, and the atttached circuit board has nearly identical components.
