This is slightly OT, but I'd love to get my hands on the CAD software on that Mac!  I periodically do file conversion on ancient Mac CAD files (think OS 8.x era) and have a lot of trouble reading them properly with modern CAD software for the Mac, even in Classic mode.  So, I hope you didn't erase that old copy of CADintosh yet!

Can you PM me with any software availability?  And before the  anti-piracy crowd chimes in-the companies that made these old softwares don't exist anymore for the most part, and those who do don't support their ancient software or offer it for sale, believe me I've tried!  You can't even find it on eBay..

Here's an eBay auction with what you need..

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEC-MUILTSYNC-15-PIN-MAC-TO-15-PIN-VGA-GENDER-CHANGER_W0QQitemZ5137317595QQihZ018QQcategoryZ171QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247

That way you can use your normal VGA monitor with the Mac, there are similar cheap ADB keyboards and mice available on eBay as well.  I'm kind of surprised that no computer places around you have any ADB stuff, most of them around here do.  There are recycling places here that sell the nicer stuff they get in to be recycled, and they always keep some mac stuff around as well.
