In addition to my massive haul of compact Macs earlier today, I also saw at the Swap Shop a Mac Portrait Display. I left right before closing, so it's still at the Swap Shop now, but I have no use for it - it requires a special cable and video card, which aren't with the unit and which I don't happen to have.If I could grab the unit, would anyone be interested in trading me something for it? RAM and Ethernet cards are particularly needed, but if you have something interesting, let me know. (I have no clue what this would be worth to any of you...) I live in the Toronto, ON, area, postal code M5S 2E5, if anyone wants to calculate shipping. GORDOOM

if you've still got your 475, you have the perfect PortraitMac! (actually the 605 MicroQuadra FeetsMac is THE perfect PortraitMac, but the 475's darn close!) there are adapters available for a standard cable. Grab it and ENJOY, comrade! and congrats on the haul, someday i'll get my own /30 too!  jt =8-} p.s. when verizon gets the DSL connection back online i've gotta finalize the deal on a Radius FPD from my last eBay excursion! the interface for my original SE/Radius 16 came in the other day and i should have piccies up of my DREAM SYSTEM from back in the day!

OK... so where exactly do I get this adapter that lets me plug a Portrait Display into a DB-15 monitor port? Keep in mind, starving student here...GORDOOM

I would like to have a native mac monitor so that I won't have to use that stupid Mac to VGA adaptor that I am using now. Look into my thread somwhere down the Trading Post page and email me if you see anything there you want to trade for it.Wonko The Sane

DSL is back up so i locked that albanian imposter in the basement again! couldn't find the link alcoa mentioned, but this is the kind of connector you wand on the Portrait end: http://store.yahoo.com/cablesonline/613tohdmsvga.html if you can't get the proper cable one of these will work one way or another. i'll check the pinouts when i get a chance, but i'll bet one of these cables and a 10 (?) switch Mac-VGA adapter would run any monitor ever made with that crazy 13W3M connector. there are a bunch of Sun 13W3M Video cables in a box in my favorite (only one remaining in NYC) liberation source downtown. grab that display and i'll glom a pile of sun cables to hack, i'm going anyway cuz i'm gonna have to build a 13W3M to DB-9 (i think it's 13W3M anyhoo) for my Radius FPD/SE interface combo soon anyway. some comrade in aus (flash?) had an extra (Apple original?) cable that might still be available too! portraits ROCK! they throw out a lotta RFI, but there's no better way to see text! jt  ™. .

For the record, I've decided to hang on to the display after all... but I have a good deal of other stuff to get rid of. And I do want that adapter, if someone has it.Please refer to my thread in the Trading Post: Time for some spring cleaning GORDOOM
