I've heard this is no longer an issue on newer minis but on older ones
you could trick it using the mini to VGA adapter and then a VGA to NTSC
converter, which are usually pretty cheap. I used this one which is $24:

Also, if you have another computer with a monitor, an AV switch will help.

Still an issue on the latest Mini, unfortunately. When I used to have a KVM I
was in a much better place, but now I need the Thunderbolt port long-term, so I
just reluctantly put up with it. It only affects the window server; other
processes ought to be fine, including server services that
it was on mine as well
if you have anything that takes hdmi eg tv you could hook it up that way
that is how I have mine hooked up.

Note that there are HDMI to VGA dongles from Apple as well so the VGA to
NTSC trick should still work if you need your display port for something
else.

That is a problem with some Minis (mine included). You need a screen of some
kind, even if the screen is off, or the Mac spends so much time searching for a
screen that it slows down. There are also converters you used to be able to
get, which would trick the Mac into thinking a screen was
Hi!
Do you know what these converters are called?
Thanks.

I am pretty sure you are looking for an NTSC box, but I am not totally certain.
Still, a cheap monitor these days can't be much, especially an older one. You
will probably need a Mini Display to VGA converter if you get the NTSC box or
an old monitor, just FYI That adapter says Mini Display,
