No color quickdraw on the machine. Color support came along with the SE30.

I wasn't looking for color support...just a bigger screen.

Hard to believe that anyone would want one of those machines. Nobody really wanted them when they were new. The Powerbook 100 was so much better in every way.

I want one for my collection, and for posterity, when laptops are 1 mm thick in the future and have gigantic screens, I'd like to show people what it actually originated from. :-)

Yes, the light-enough-to-fit-on-a-raft-in-a-pool-with-a-swimmer Mac Portable (cover of MacUser - Nov. 1989)

No. Apple didn't use VGA output until LONG after the Mac Portable's day. In fact I think the Blue&White G3 was the first to offer a VGA output.

Well, in the pictures the seller sent me, there's a monitor port on the rear, and it has the three rows of pins, just like today's standard VGA ports...
