| photo of 6500 with tv-out | |
| Posted by: chelseayr on 2022-07-07 12:49:57 I somehow had never ever seen a photo of any performa/powermac with the tv-out option actually installed till I noticed this auction just in case anyone has not ever seen one too and was wondering what it would look like | |
| Posted by: Unknown_K on 2022-07-07 18:08:19 Thats just video out correct or am I missing something? | |
| Posted by: Byrd on 2022-07-07 20:30:38 That pic doesn't have one! It's to the top right to the DB15 connector is where the TV tuner goes, a metal box that slides in and the plastic cover goes back over the antenna connector sticking out. | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2022-07-07 20:59:23 I think he's referring to the S-Video/Composite Out doohickey installed in the vestigial PDS Slot opening between serial ports and ComSlotII NIC's RJ-45. I'd not seen one until a recent thread asking about it in an auction link I think? Everything else about that system is input only. That bit's for TV/projector output I think. | |
| Posted by: badCaps on 2022-07-07 22:54:07 Interesting! I have a 6500/275 Creative Studio Edition and the video out card is populating one of the PCI slots.  The card in question appears to be the same as this unit from Focus Enhancements that connects to the video out slot. http://www.jax184.com/projects/Performa/Performa.html   | |
| Posted by: badCaps on 2022-07-07 23:01:30 Oh and it's actually referenced in the Apple repair manual:  https://www.applerepairmanuals.com/the_manuals_are_in_here/Performa_PM_6400_6500.pdf | |
| Posted by: chelseayr on 2022-07-08 03:31:34 thanks for that photo badcaps, nice to also see a desktop performa with it too (and to be a little OT, a fm/tv combo card instead of the usual tv card?!) | |
