Re: thanks



Thanks for the info, everybody. I've got a vga convertor,
so once I get an appropriate mouse/keyboard I'll fire it up.

Any ideas on how to preserve the macOS it currently has
installed? I think it has an 80meg drive, but I don't know
how much free-space there is. I'll do some surfing tonite
maybe there is something like loadlin for m68k, then I
could drop a tarball of the drive on a nfs mounted partition. Otherwise I'd have to repartition somehow.

Subject: Keyboard? What Keyboard?
Date: Thu, 01 Jun 2000 07:44:43 EDT

Hi, I have an Macintosh IIci I'm gearing up to put debian on (the guy
missing a floppydrive ps again), and suddenly noticed another problem.
Where does the keyboard plug in? (not that I actually have one though). I
had assumed it was a ps/2 type keyboard and mouse, but I recently looked
closer, and realized one of the connectors was for a phone line and the
other was for the printer. There are two other small din connectors with a
symbol above them, but I cannot puzzel out the icon. It is a vertical line
with two 90degree lines going left and another going to the right. Are they
serial ports or maybe the missing mouse/keyboard connectors? I might have
this wrong, but a friend of mine had a powerPC (this was a while back) and I
think I remember the keyboard plugging into the monitor. Is this right?
Looks like I've got no chance of using a common pc-type keyboard with this
unit, so if anyone can tell me what type of keyboard it is, I can try to
find one. Thanks.

Gregg
