(Due to a database roll back my item was lost in cyber space. I'm trying to restore it here:

I'm having fun with my Macintosh Plus, a FloppyEmu and a web server ( MacHTTP). If I switch on the Plus it will boot a HD image with System 7.0.1 from the FloppyEmu and with an alias in the Startup folder. So it boot "automagicaly" into MacHTTP and becomes a web server. The Plus is connected to a Etherprint Mini LOcalTalk bridge and in my LAN I have a macIPpi running with port forwarding so I can reach this web server from the Internet.
I was thinking to make this a permanent live Macintosh Plus webserver. Then I thought, how to implement this in a hosting centre? Maybe build this solution ( Plus+LocalTalk bridge + MacIPpi) into a 1U server case. Because of the auto staring of the HD and the web server I don't need a monitor.
I there anyone with experiance how to boot a Plus motherboard WITHOUT the analog board and monitor?If so.... I have some clue what to do I can experiment with this.
Turned it on for today:

I aleady got one advice:
OK .......and when I switch it off tonight we still have the video:

I aleady got one advice:
Get the connector pinout and connect it to a atx PS. I would at least include a speaker so you can hear it chime. Otherwise, the mac plus logic has no way of knowing that it's not connected to a screen.
Also, in case your interested, I'm actually working on an adapter that will allow internal connection of a hard drive to a Macintosh plus logic board. Stay tuned...
