Something I've been working on for a few months...

I suppose a replacement like this could also be done for, say, a PowerBook 2400c, right?

Anything is possible, just depends how hard it is to map the video signals and find a suitable replacement LCD, and interface the two. For the PB100 I'm using an FPGA dev board to receive the 11 video signals for 640x400 and pixel-double them to 1280x800, then output to an LVDS encoder

is the dev board more powerful than the host computer? gonna do an eink version? ;)

My first thought was well for a PB100 you could probably just do the whole thing in a chunky-ish FPGA these days ;-) E-ink sounds fun, I'd love an e-ink System 7 notebook.

Whoa, e-ink is a heck of an idea. That would look amazing.
