Re: LC II as a server?

An LC or an LCII makes a great little headless server. To get around the need for a monitor to boot, I made a small flat-bottomed U-shaped jumper out of a paperclip, just large enough to short pins #7 and #10 on the monitor connector. That makes it think a 640x480 display is attached. I don't

Hi Clark, Pins 4 and 11, huh? That's quite interesting. My choice of shorting pins 7 and 10 was from information gleaned from Apple, at: Technical Note HW08:http://developer.apple.com/technotes/hw/hw_08.html Video Pinouts: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=9089

pin 7 and 10 work for me. Thanks, Bob. Now I can finally put my fanless LC to work as a server. Since sleeper puts the hard disk to snooze after only one minute it truly is a silent server that only awakens when it is called for duty. Marten -- Vintage Macs list nanny

What is sleeper? That is a control panel that allows you to have the hard disk set to sleep automatically. This way you can reduce heat, noise and energy usage. Marten -- Vintage Macs list nanny -- Check out the System 6 Heaven:

Hello, I have an LC II laying around and I was looking to build it up as a server. I have no monitor or keyboard for it. Is it possible to run a headless LC II? Any special things I need to do to get this to work? Also, any suggestions for the OS? I have 7.5.3 and 7.5.5 on disk to load but read
