A usb4vc, rgb2hdmi and a tashtalk (for appleshare) can let an agent fully control a classic Macintosh.

It works so well I had Claude make vcctrl[1] with a full set of skills and an MCP server to fully automate deployment and testing. No more sdcard swaps.

Given the lack of protected memory and the various toolbox hooks, has anyone made an init to control the system? Back in the Classic Mac lab days we’d puppet an entire system with At Ease over local talk.

This is wild stuff, you should make a youtube demo of this if you haven't.
