I want to be very clear about one part of RetroBridge because the enclosure concept images are polished enough to look like finished hardware.

The core RetroBridge appliance is real and working.

The custom beige retro enclosure is still a design concept.

Validated today

The current RetroBridge V1.1 appliance has been physically built and tested with:

• Raspberry Pi 5
• 3.5-inch 480×320 touchscreen
• touch input
• custom RetroBridge Time Machine frontend
• Apple-1
• TRS-80 Model I
• Apple II
• IBM PC
• Commodore 64
• clean Debian 13 Trixie build
• boot-to-RetroBridge behavior
• maintenance mode
• recovery testing

The real project photographs in this page show that working appliance.

Still a concept

The period-inspired beige enclosure is the direction I want the physical design to take next.

The concept includes:

• angled CRT-style profile
• front bezel
• ventilation
• rear I/O access
• Raspberry Pi 5 active cooling
• separate shell sections
• standard fastener concept

But I have not yet published STL or STEP files.

I do not want to call an enclosure printable until the following have been physically validated:

• display opening dimensions
• Raspberry Pi mounting-hole locations
• USB/Ethernet/USB-C alignment
• active-cooler clearance
• cable routing
• airflow
• screw lengths
• wall thickness
• print tolerances
• assembly order

So the current status is simple:

The RetroBridge appliance is real.

The custom retro enclosure is the next mechanical-design phase.

Once the enclosure has been modeled, printed, assembled, and tested on the actual hardware, I plan to publish those files as a separate validated part of the project.
