JetKVM showed up today and tested it out with my Macintosh Plus with a USB4VC (keyboard/mouse) and RGB2HDMI (video).

Had to update the USB4VC to use usbhid.mousepoll=0 as a kernel parameter to get the keyboard and mouse working.

Few oddities like changing streaming quality to low and the mouse to relative positioning. Mouse tracking is still really off though, but it's usable.

Opted for the DC power extension too and can power on the Mac remotely since I have a PicoPSU in it that uses a power brick. Pulls about 23watts.

Spent some time on my day off getting usb4vc working on Raspbian Bookworm. Original release runs on the older Bullseye release.

Almost got it the first time, but requires 32-bit armhf instead of 64-bit arm64 due to data structures used.

Now I can install bombadillo from apt and browse gopher from my Macintosh serial terminal.

One step closer to my dream Macintosh setup with a usb4vc. I love using my tg4x keyboard with the Mac, but the KC_ESC and KC_GRV keycodes aren't working. I have a nice wireless transparent keyboard coming later that will be the permanent board, so it's not a huge issue.
