You mean it'll work with the older mac's? It has a "normal" (for
MAC's) video
cable, and its model number is 1710AV. It has what appears to be
pass-through's for the mouse and for a mike, that funny thing that looks like
the USB symbol but isn't, and a couple of other thingies, but it's only a
16"
diagonal visible (not viewable) screen so I don't think it's supposed to be a
17", though you never know these days.
I'll have to run out and snag a cheap mac and see what it does. I saw a
Quadra 650 or something on that order for $5 earlier today. It had a part of
the front face missing, else I'd have probably looked inside.

Since it was
cheap, I snagged an AppleVision monitor/speaker combo today.
What systems will support it? I figure I'll find one eventually.
It's only a small risk at $3.95.
If it is one with the AppleVision plug (HDI-45, this kind of rectangular
plug with lots of pins in it), then only the 6100, 7100 and 8100 support
it directly IIRC.
However, there is an adaptor out there to break out the cable to its RGB
plug, mic, speaker, and ADB, so you can plug it into any of the other
Macs.
Also, the last series of AV monitors weren't true AppleVision monitors,
and only had the standard RGB plug, if you have one of those, than any
color mac EXCEPT the 6100, 7100, or 8100 should support it (those 3 will
support it IF they have the optional RGB card installed, or if you have
the HDI-45 to RGB pigtail).
