Thanks for the heads-up on the video connection. I'm hoping that my trusty Eizo will handle it and that the '15 pin connection' that the auction talked about is either VGA or good old Apple 15. If not then I'll just have to get 'creative'That IIGS - I was really expecting it to go for much more than that. The last one that sold in the UK went for about £150 to £200, the main reason why I shipped mine from the USA. I really should have waited and nabbed this one instead, but never mind. At least it's going to a good home!
The monitor is going to be more difficult as the IIGS has either NTSC composite output or the IIGS-specific RGB port. IIGS video requires a TV frequency monitor (ie 50 or 60Hz) so ordinary, modern monitors won't work directly. Many modern LCD TVs in the UK can handle NTSC so that may be the way to go, or alternatively it is possible to build a video cable for linking the IIGS RGB port to a SCART connector for a TV/monitor.
TBH I expected it to go for a whole lot more than £23 so I was pretty amazed when it didn't go insane in the last few minutes (not that I'm complaining you understand)
Don't suppose you have any idea about the A7000 mouse do you? It's driving me mad not being able to access 'menu'. I've tried a no-brand 2 button PS/2 and a couple of M$ scroll wheel mice but with no joy
