Ok, so I just got my neato 5300ce. I've been playing with it all day long, and I'm currently trying to load up the WaveLAN silver drivers so I can use it on my WiFi network... Which leaves my 5300cs still completely headless with a broken LCD ribbon cable. I do have the original video card, though, supporting external monitors. So my question is this:
If I get a video adapter (to fit the funky connector on the back of the 'cs) to attach a Mac monitor, zap the PRAM, then start up, will the external monitor come to life? Will it mirror, or is it a true second monitor? Since the 'cs is headless, I can't very well open the Monitors control panel to change settings if the external display does not mirror the built-in one... :-( 2nd question: Exactly which cable do I need to attach the monitor? Is the adapter the same for the 5x0 line? Any other PowerBooks share the same connector? Thanks for the info...
