No no, you misunderstand (sorry for the delay in pointing this out, I went to the beach for the weekend). I don't plan to add the missing VGA socket. I did look into that when I first got the machine, but it is missing more than just the socket, so if it is possible at all, it is certainly above my skill. What I found pinouts for is the internal RGB connector that leads to the CRT's video board. The 20 pin dip connector on the logic board. IIRC, it was fairly standard and was easily adapted to either a 15 pin RGB connector, or to a VGA connector. Granted, I haven't looked at the topic for almost a year, so I could remember wrong, but I recall it that way. THAT is what I plan to create an adaptor for. So basically, I'll just tap the video right off the logic board where it normally goes out to the CRT. But that project will wait for a later date. My first priority (now that I am back from the beach), is to see if I can swap the Power Board into my DV iMac, and if not, to get it up and running (possibly ATX conversion, and at least it has the built in VGA output, so that one should be much easier to do if I have to). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
