I have a Bondi Blue iMac. I'm guessing Rev A as that is what is printed on the underside of the heatsink as well as one of the cables inside. You are correct, there is no external video "option" on the one I have. However, I removed the bottom cover, disconnected the internal video at the DA-15 connector and plugged in a different monitor. When the iMac is powered on, it doesn't appear to send a signal to the video port as my test monitor doesn't do its tell tale click when it receives a signal (one of the reasons I use this monitor as a test screen is it has a very audible power cycle as it wakes from sleep upon detection of a video signal, that comes in handy when diagnosing video problems). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
