I have found a web site with directions for a slot loading iMac to ATX. And Marathon sells an iRack for the slot loading series. So they don't need the CRT. BUT, both Marathon and the web site I found DO create a video cable that connects to the internal video connector. They do NOT use the external VGA connector. So I'm now figuring that the Power On sense on the internal connector needs to be utilized to get it to work. The odd thing with that is the web site I found mentions that the logic board powers up just fine without the internal video connected. I've also found a 2nd web site that says the same thing. So I didn't know if there was a 2nd wire that had to be disconnected to fully isolate the CRT circuit and thus remove the need for the Power On pin in the internal video connector to be connected to anything. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
