Macintosh Portable: Modifying for Use by the Handicapped


Can the Macintosh Portable's display screen be detached? A customer wants
to detach the display and mount it on a swing arm of a wheelchair, with
the rest of the Portable under the wheelchair.

Is this possible?

It is possible to remove the screen from the Macintosh Portable, but
you'll need a special monitor extension cable that Apple does not
manufacture.

Also, Aura Systems makes a product called ScuzzyGraph that allows
connection of monochrome and color monitors to the Macintosh Portable and
other members of the Macintosh family.

To locate a vendor's address and phone numbers, use the vendor name as a
search string.
