Does the Macintosh 512k Enhanced use a VGA connection?

I've been thinking about sticking my mac mini inside one of these things.. I'm just woundering what connection the CRT monitor uses. Is it VGA?
Somthing like this:

Nope, it's not VGA.  The modern-computer-in-vintage-clothing hack is generally done by replacing the CRT with a modern LCD of similar size.  I.e.:

Going in a different other direction... not relevant to your immediate goal but relevant to case mods in general: it is possible to hack a composite monitor connection to display VGA:

  • The secret to HDTV using a VGA connection

    Took some trial and error, but I discovered how to get HDTV on my Toshiba 40" LCD TV using the VGA port.  I thought I post here to save somebody else the trouble.  Here's all you need to do:
    1)  Set your computer to drive the external monitor at 1280 x 768
    2)  Use the TV's remote to select PC as the input, then use the Pic Size to select Full Screen
    This worked with a Toshiba 40E220U to fill almost the whole screen (I've got 1/2" black space at top and bottom) with 16:9 ratio high-def.  Looks like I'm getting about 720P quality HDTV.   Per the user manual, the TV supports two higher res modes thru the VGA port (1280 x 1024 and 1360 x 768) but my PC graphics adapter couldn't drive the 1360 x 768 and the aspect ratio was wrong for 1280 x 1024.
    FWIW, the PC I am using is an older Toshiba laptop with ATI graphics.  I used the Catalyst Control Center to run the second monitor at the 1280 x 768 as an extended desktop, and then drug my browser window over onto the TV to run.  Works great w/ Netflix running in full screen mode.  Cloning the computer monitor onto the TV did not produce good results.

    I want to use the VGA input on my Tosh 40E220U also. But I have some roadblocks.
    Both the HDMI ports are occupied  [ Sat TV and Blue Ray ]
    The Tosh TV is a second monitor on my setup [ for gaming ]
    Originally,I set my ASUS Nvidia GTX 560TI Video card output to Dual Display.
    One DVI from card goes to a 27 inch Monitor
    The 2nd DVI from card , is 'adapted' DVI to HDMI and went to the Tosh TV HDMI input
    Had 1920x1080 resolution on both Displays,,,, just what I was after,,,,,,,,,,works fine.
    But I wanted to use the 2nd TV HDMI input for Blu Ray, so tried to connect  from video card using a M to M , DVI To VGA cable, connected to VGA at TV.
    Both 'Displayed' ,, but the resolution automatically bumped down to 1360x768 on BOTH displays,
    and the display on TV was cropped off on all 4 sides, it was fine on monitor, just lower resolution.
    Is there a way to produce 1920x1080 on the Tosh TV using the VGA input ?

  • Does the iPhone support "Disk Use"

    Does the iPhone support "Disk Use" like the iPod?

    You can purchase a Mac Mini for $600. Connect your existing monitor, keyboard, and mouse to it and you have a Mac that includes a CD/DVD drive.
    If not, once you factor in the same hardware doing a side by side comparison with a PC box assembler, a Mac is not as expensive or more expensive as you might think. Take out needing to purchase anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-adware software and the associated annual renewal cost, along with access to software included on a Mac that probably requires an additional purchase with a PC such as iLife, and the cost difference is decreased.
    That and the ability to run Windows natively on a Mac if needed or wanted, and you basically have two computers for the price of one. The cost comes down even more with this factored in.

  • Does the iPhone 6  support use of bluetooth enabled mouse?

    Does the iPhone 6  support use of bluetooth enabled mouse?

    I'd really like to think so as well, who's using a tempered glass for the screen an a similar film/glass for the backplate that can shed some realistic light on this query? help is much appreciated.
    people tend to get a bit hysterical when they see my uncased 4s, and yet after 2.5 it is still in better shape than everyone else's.....so if that's gonna be the case with the 6 plus I'll be satisfied.
    I understand the 6 (and 6 plus) have a cureved screen and that most glass protectors are a bit dorky and dont go all the way to the end. would ones that go all the way be more fragile and by that endanger the screen or is full coverage better? is there a suggested tempered glass protector for the 6 plus?

  • Does  the iphone 4s only use 4g or 3g to?

    Does  the iphone 4s only use 4g or 3g to?

    As far as I know, the phone uses the best available network. That's why you don't have the option anymore to switch off 3G network.
    If iPhone is connected to the Internet via the cellular data network, the (UMTS/EV-DO ), (EDGE), or (GPRS/1xRTT) icon appears in the status bar.
    The 3G (UMTS) cellular network supports simultaneous voice and data communications on GSM networks. For all other cellular connections, you can’t use Internet services while you’re talking on the phone unless iPhone also has a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. Depending on your network connection, you may not be able to receive calls while iPhone transfers data over the cellular network—when downloading a webpage, for example.

  • Does the iPod touch only use wi-fi or if it's plugged in to a PC can it use the internet?

    Does the iPod touch only use wi-fi or if it's plugged in to a PC can it use the internet?

    I have never done this myself,  however I know you can use some computer as the WiFi hotspots.  Macs do, and some PCs do. 
    There is not a way to physically connect the iPod to use the computers Internet connection.

  • What does the Sun App Server Use as a web container?

    Does the Sun App Server use tomcat? Or is it some derivative of Tomcat?
    thanks for the info.

    Thanks.
    Just to clarify for any others who are interested, heres the deal:
    1) Package the static HTML files using the 'deploytool' (See Packaging Web Modules in Chapter 3 of The J2EE(TM) 1.4 Tutorial). This creates a .war file with the required deployment descriptors(?); anyway it creates a bunch of .xml files that have the right data in them.
    2) Take the .war file and drop it in the 'quick deploy' icon (copies the .war file to the 'autodeploy' directory for the App Server instance).
    Anyhow thats the drill.
    Good luck.

  • Does the latest Ipod Classic use the same charging pins as the earlier versions?

    Does the latest Ipod Classic use the same charging pin positons as the earlier versions as I want to use it in my Audi where my 5th gen Nano will play but not charge as the pin configuration for charging changed from that of the earlier models.

    If your 5th gen nano doesn't change, then a new iPod Classic will not either.
    The "change" was that older iPods used firewire to charge the iPod. But that's 12volts (the same voltage as a car's battery). Then along came charging by USB, which is 5volts. So car manufacturers who were on the ball, introduced electronics to drop the 12v car battery voltage to 5v and put that 5v on the appropriate USB pins. (I would hope, that by now, every car manufacturer has sorted this out, but of course that doesn't help anyone with an older model car.)
    The incredibly obvious - to anyone with technical knowledge - was that one day, Apple would stop the 12v charging method on newer models of iPod. But somehow, a lot of manufacturers of devices that charge iPods failed to see this. (It really was incredibly obvious, believe me!)
    It wasn't just car manufacturers who were caught out by this, so were Docking Station devices. I know of one make, where the manufacturer recalled the ones still in shops so that they could re-work them to charge using the 5v USB pins.
    In my car, made around 2006, I had an external device fitted so that I could plug my iPod into the car stereo through the Dock Connector. But hey, guess what? That device will charge my iPod Classic, but not my iPod Touch.
    A long-ish answer, but hopefully it not only answers the question, but tells you why too.

  • Does the SCCM updates manager use OpenSSL, and is it vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug?

    I'm 99.99% positive I know the answer, but my boss wants to know for SURE. Does the SCCM updates manager use OpenSSL, and is it vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug?
    Thank you for appeasing him.

    I must be misunderstanding something here. Would you please help me understand why this isn't answerable here? How does this have anything to do w/ our TAM? SCCM is SCCM regardless of where we got it, right? I'm quite perplexed, so thank you for
    clearing this up.
    My guess is liability. What if we're wrong? Very few people who frequent these forums are actual Microsoft employees.
    If you want a 'for sure' answer, you're best off contacting Microsoft directly IMHO.

  • Apple Maps - Please reconsider and include Google Maps. As a long time Apple customer, I am disappointed iOS would regress the system and inconvenience millions because of a vendetta that should never hinder users. Not only does the transit feature I used

    Apple Maps - Please reconsider and include Google Maps. As a long time Apple customer, I am disappointed iOS would regress the system and inconvenience millions because of a vendetta that should never hinder users. Not only does the transit feature I used religiously no longer exist, but clicking on an address in a website now directs users to a poor Google Maps interface. I am surprised to see such a effortless update from a company squatting on the resources to make a change its customers are asking for.

    Apple has documented an API to provide add-ons to the Maps app in the iOS 6 SDK, so that such add-ons are possible is absolutely not a guess that the capability is there. As to whether someone will indeed develop an add-on for any given transit system, that would be a guess, yes, but at a couple of companies at least have already announced plans to do so.
    In select cities and areas - so now I'm going from being able to supply this information myself to either wait for someone to supply an app or write an app myself... This is not feature progression but feature regression. Adding transit times or a specific overlay should not have to be something you need to do through code via an API. So no dice... Your guess that we will see better transit information is just that - a guess, nothing else.
    If you don't agree with that editorial, you are certainly free to do so. I provided the link as food for thought for those who have been questioning Apples' decision to drop Google's maps from iOS. Whether or not you agree with Brad's analysis or that of anyone else is up to you.
    But on that central issue the editorial fails - it's is not the true tale of why Apple made their move and therefore useless even as "food for thought" (because it's guesswork).

    Is your iPad connected to a network? The TV needs to be connected to the same network. Do you have an internet router? If both devices are connected to it then they can also communicate  directly.

    Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?
