remember that 145 of mine that had the wierd video port coming off the side? I could not test it because some wires were snapped, and the machine was busted. I have since parted the machine out, but kept the top case with the video plug.

I thought I had the only one in existance, as google turns up nothing.

well, today, I was browsing around and found this. it appears to be the exact same aftermarket device.

Does anyone have any info on it? I may just snap this thing up to see if it works, and how.

All i know, is that you should get it

Looks like a custom made clutch cover with an ADC external monitor port. Can't really tell the manufacturer or anything without actually looking at the part, for part numbers or any ID.

Thats not an ADC, its a DB-15.

My mistake. I knew what it was, just confused the names.

I have a boxed shrinkwrapped one, It's called the Envisio NDA030, it's a little video-out upgrade made for the powerbook 140 and 170, that plugs into the memory socket, it provides a ram upgrade for the powerbook and the video out. http://calbears.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0NEW/is_1992_Jan_22/ai_11872921

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I asked over on AF, an nobody knew. apparently, mine was missing the RAM board, and half the wires to the DA-15 port were broken.

That sure is a creative way to get video out. Wow.

but you are still crazy

So does the 140/170 use system RAM as VRAM? Because that's the only way I can think right now that that might possibly work ....

... and it gives me an idea for my 6100

oh no not again ...
