TOPIC

    I would like the pinouts for the external video cable used with the PowerBook 500 series computer.

DISCUSSION

    PowerBook 500 series and 5300 series computers have the same type VID-14 video output connector as earlier PowerBook models.

    An adapter cable was included with some earlier models of the PowerBook that allows you to use a standard Apple video cable. If you didn't get the cable, it can be purchased separately. It is available as part number M3927LL/A.
