Hi,

While away, I popped in a car boot sale, and picked up
an Apple Mac LC III
base unit for 50p!
Hmm..I had to pay a quid for mine.
Never having had anything to do with macs before, and
only having new PC and old BBC kit about, I'm a bit stuck at first base - I
think I have spotted the video out (15 way D-type, and have seen converters
for them!)
Yep, that's it.
but where on earth does one connect a keyboard and
mouse?
The keyboard plugs into the ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) socket. That's the
one with 4 pins and a rectangular slot with a simple diagram of a bus
system under it. The mouse plugs into the keyboard.
Internally, it seems like it might be complete: 80Mb
SCSI hard disc, one
ram stick (one free slot) 68030 processor (and an empty socket next to
it???) is this right?
Sounds about right.
