He may have been referring to my post, in which I said that I needed to attach a monitor cable converter to fool my OS8.x box into thinking it had a monitor attached. If I recall correctly, this was needed not to boot, but to be able to export a display via Timbuktu. It was a Q650, which came with two video ports, and the converter was connected to the video card, not the onboard port. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On 2/23/04, 11:36:31 AM, macjedi at mac.com wrote regarding Re: [CUBE] Would a Cube boot with no screen connected (under OS9): > On 2/23/04 at 9:39 AM, George Pepper <pep27 at mac.com> did send into the ether: > > Now you've clouded the issue again...
