PowerBook External Video

I managed to find a PowerBook Video adapter on ebay for a very affordable $3 ($9 with shipping). The item came in its original 1992 Apple packaging and worked out of the box with my PowerBook 180 when I plugged it in to my PC monitor (requires another adapter). The adapter works with the following vintage PowerBook models:

PowerBook 1400c/117

PowerBook 1400c/133

PowerBook 1400c/166

PowerBook 1400cs/117

Powerbook 1400cs/133

Powerbook 1400cs/166

PowerBook 190

PowerBook 190cs

PowerBook 520

PowerBook 520c

PowerBook 5300

PowerBook 5300c

PowerBook 5300ce

PowerBook 5300cs

PowerBook 540

PowerBook 540c

PowerBook 550c [Japan Only]

PowerBook 160/165/180

PowerBook 165c/180c

You can find it here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Macintosh-PowerBook-Video-Cable-for-older-pwrbooks-New_W0QQitemZ350161898506QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5187468c0a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1205|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

I'm not selling this item, I was just pleased with how inexpensive it was and thought others might be interested in it as well. It's nice to see my PowerBook in color!

Inexpensive cost but they are trying to charge me $56.80 to ship to Canada...

Just one of many reasons not to use ebay. 🙂
