Macintosh Plus: Why There‘s No External Monitor Option


Why didn't Apple offer an external full-screen monitor option for the
Macintosh Plus?

The main reason is that the Macintosh Plus was not designed to support any
expansion cards. Short of modifying the case, there was no supportable way
to connect a driver board and cabling to the logic board of the Mac Plus.
Additional load on the power supply would also be a concern.
