Here's a short video demo!
Tidbits that didn't fit in the first post:
The module also runs in "DarkSide of the Mac" if you want a less crashy screensaver host.
I did not have time to optimize my graphics code at all, so it will be very sluggish on 68k Macs - the reduced screen size options are for them. It also helps reducing your screen to 256 colors.

TalkCrawler 1.4 was released as a companion to generate the data for the screensaver to work. This version adds device type detection - Macs are no longer shown as just generic Classic Mac icons but if data is available will show as the right Mac model. The first time you load up an old scan a re-detection process is run and make take longer than usual, but if you save and re-open it doesn't happen again.
