eBay? :) Just had a thought, dunno if this'll work or not. Do the VGA mod, but instead of connecting the 10 or so video lines through the analogue board wiring harness to the main mobo wiring harness, connect them to a longer cable and solder a standard VGA connector onto the end of that, making sure to match the appropriate lines to the appropriate pins in the connector. All the info you need should be in the CC FAQ up to this point. Once you've done that, power up the CC with the motherboard removed (short the +5V on the ADB to ground) and then see if you can make the analogue board accept a 640x480 VGA signal on the male HD-15 connector you've wired onto the monitor lines. If that works - and this is entirely theoretical at this point - then you've got your VGA monitor. If not, I'm not sure where to go from there. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
