Correct, no monitor, no video, so nothing for VNC to work with. All you need is a 15pin D plug and link some pins : ground pin 4 for 13" (640x480) ground pin 10 for 21" (1024x768) ground pin 4 and link pins 7&10 for 13" multisync (up to 800x600 IIRC) ground pin 4 and use a diode between pins 7&10 instead of the wire link for 17" or 21" multisync depending which way round the diode is. Pin 11 will do for ground (IIRC). I think the multisync options will work on this machine, it doesn't on some of the older ones. Alternatively, if you use one of the many Mac-VGA adapters that are available, you can leave the adapter plugged in and connect a monitor when you need to. >probably THE most annoying feature of the Mac >in my book). Later machines/system software combinations are not so picky.
