While I was at the MIT swapfest in Cambridge, MA last Sunday, a seller was selling a powerbook 170 with an actual mac video (15 pin 7+8) output piece that replaced the left side clutch cover, that being the rounded piece at the edge where the display half and bottom half of the machine meet. He was selling this along with about 30 other 1xx, duos, and 5xx machines as well as nearly 20 DuoDocks under his table. Upon inquiring, I was told that the video out port worked, and as I did examine the machine, I realized that it was a 170 which did not come with any video out of any sort, that being the normal video out that is on the 160, 165(c), and 180(c) 1xx machines. The video out port protruded from an otherwise normal left side clutch cover and as such, looked to be an OEM part as it was not "hacked" together by any means. My question to all of you powerbook hoarders out there is as follows: does anybody have any information whatsoever regarding a video out port on the 170 that apple built? To put it this way, the port and clutch cover looked too good and normal be non-OEM.
Any information would be appreciated by myself, and I am sure of everyone else as well...
Thanks,
David Pekarsky
