5400/5500 Dos Compatibility Card internal a/v cable
Posted by: lem150 on 2024-12-09 17:11:18 Hi I am looking to buy or make? The a/v internal cable to goes from the 7inch down card to the 5400/5500 motherboard? I’m up to make my own if anyone has any ideas!
Posted by: Byrd on 2024-12-09 19:06:03 TAM hack: Apple External Video Connector Hi all, Most 5x00, 6x00 and 580 Macs come with a small connector on the motherboard for external video support. Apple made an adapter, part M4099LL/A which provides functionality for a mirrored display output (not dual display sadly) for these machines. The TAM being based off a 5500/6500... 68kmla.org
