Special Configurations
If your computer has an internal monitor but does not have
external video capabilities (Macintosh SEs and certain
PowerBooks), you need a video adapter card in order to attach to
the Desktop Projector. Setup for a third-party adapter is identical
to the procedures outlined in the section titled Desktop Computers.
Contact your dealer, Proxima Customer Service, or a third-party
supplier for information on video adapters.
