This is a PB 1400c, has the optional video port in the rear. The dongle design leads me to believe it needs only a cable. Are you saying you think I need some kind of external video card? I'd think there is one built in.
I tried to hook up an older PC monitor, but it had the old style 9 pin, and the tech people say they know of no adapter to get it to the Mac. Anyway, I'm having compatibiliy problems, Thanks, Ken N. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
