Some people hated the compact Mac obviously. These are 512k boards with a homebrew VGA adaptor in an old PC type case. I haven't tested them yet. Pull apart and clean/inspect then see what happens.
Yes Your right need to do some research on TTL to VGA? or some such
It can be purchased hereRaspberry Pi Pico to TTL/CGA/EGA converter, was cheap and used to be sold as a complete kit but maybe not now, still looks impressive.
The ‘heat sink is live’ warning sticker there is … well, I’m glad the warning sticker *is* there, but it still leaves me feeling a bit ‘eh’ that it’s live at all
I did know about the Plus analog board having a live heat sink but I wasn’t aware it’s still the case in modern PSUs too.This isn't at all uncommon. One of the heatsinks on the normal plus AB is live. Someone did once explain to me why - there is a good reason for it - but I cannot for the life of me remember why. It's still the case in quite a lot of modern PSUs. This kind of thing is why you shouldn't poke PSUs unless you're very sure you know what's going on.
