Commented source tree for the original Mac ROMs

A 68kmla.org forum developer used Claude Code (Opus 4.6 and 4.7) to build a commented source tree for the Macintosh 128K, 512K and Plus ROMs. The goal is a reassembly that matches the original ROM bit-for-bit.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
