| Mac SE DB9 connector? | |
| Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2017-05-20 06:36:31 Hi all I wonder what could this be...   ...a video card? An ADB to DB9 Mouse converter? A Microtouch touchscreen? What are your thoughts? | |
| Posted by: Johnnya101 on 2017-05-20 06:53:23 I'm gonna take a guess at touchscreen, since I don't think anyone would cut a case over a mouse adapter. Video card possible too... | |
| Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2017-05-20 06:57:16 That's what I thought too but the touchscreen port is internal I think.... It sits close to the fan though, like the Microtouch card. | |

| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2017-05-20 08:27:36 Could be both, if it has a touchscreen, it may have a video card to feed a projector, which would have been B&W in that time frame, IIRC. Even if it's not a touchscreen model, a projection unit makes sense given the property (mfr??) tag. I wonder what must have been in the expansion slot that filled the backplane plate? Can't think of another reason for that connector port. Professional looking installation smacks of a high cost factory installed upgrade of some kind. | |
| Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2017-05-20 08:40:44 I can't tell for sure if the CRT has the screen snuci mentioned here. I think I'll just snag this puppy even if the seller doesn't know what that is. It's only 30 euros after all plus 15 shipping. Edit: it comes with a male to female DB9 cable... Probably for a projector.  | |
