While away, I popped in a car boot sale, and picked up
an Apple
Mac LC III
base unit for 50p! Never having had anything to do with macs
If you'd asked me you could've had one for nowt - I have many spares :)
think I have spotted the video out (15 way D-type, and
have seen
converters
for them!) but where on earth does one connect a keyboard and mouse?
The ADB port (apple desktop bus?). The symbol for it is a vertical line with
3 dots on it. It's next to the printer port - the one with a little printer
above it.
Internally, it seems like it might be complete: 80Mb
SCSI hard disc, one
ram stick (one free slot) 68030 processor (and an empty socket next to
it???) is this right?
Yep. The empty socket is for a copro. Beware though that the PRAM battery is
probably dead....if you DO find a monitor for it (and keyboard and mouse),
switch it on and get the 'happy mac' sound but no picture that'll be
what's
up.
cheers
