Mac SE DB9 connector?

[BadGoldEagle]

Hi all

I wonder what could this be...

  

...a video card? An ADB to DB9 Mouse converter? A Microtouch touchscreen? 

What are your thoughts?

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...

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.

great workmanship.  At least on the outside....

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.

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.

The price is right.  Be sure to post some photos when you open this bad boy up.
