I found a Mac Performa 6400/200VEE at the dump today, but no keyboard /
rodent / display.
It seems to have 128MB of RAM installed, along with a video I/O board (the
'VEE' bit, I suppose) and Ethernet board. The downside is that there's some
significant battery corrosion toward the bottom of the system board PCB.
I'll try some vinegar and see how it goes, but obviously it doesn't make
sense to source a keyboard, mouse and display from anywhere if the system's
toast.
1) Is it possible to wire the 15-pin monitor connector up to a PC's VGA
monitor? Or,
2) Can I hook the composite out on the video I/O board up to a TV and
expect to be able to see something at boot time? (I'm not sure if that
board's only initialized after the system's booted)
Done with hard disk disconnected, obviously - but will the system even
output anything to the display with no keyboard or mouse present?
cheers
