Hi guys I was looking for info on my G3 imac mod I am working on and I found this forum seems to still be alive and have some useful info but I cant seem to find the information I am looking for. I have this G3 Imac that I have been trying to replace the crt with an lcd. With the extra space I plan on putting the guts of a intel laptop (broken screen), and/or some sort of older video game system along with a kvm. we will see how much I can stuff in there. I already got rid of the crt some years back but I pitched the analog video board along with it. The power goes though this board and I am trying to figure out how to re wire it so I can still use the stock downconverter/power brick. I found plenty of sites showing how to convert it to atx, but using the stock power supply would save space and probably be simpler. I found this french translated, website on the wayback machine that shows pinouts for all connectors:

from testing around with a multimeter it does look like these pinouts are probably accurate.
My question is this: The pinout states that the downconverter needs 24 volts ac, now is this really 24 volts, or 240 volts as wall voltage may very well be wherever this page originates?
