     @retrotechtive @mac84tv Ah here’s the dual screen thing, it was Adrian’s and not mac84: https://youtu.be/slY_F1MxGlk?feature=shared

     Yeah if you don’t see a cable it might just be an accelerator. But it’s definitely some goodie. 😊 Probably jacked in right in the CPU socket.

     @arroz @mac84tv This (video dual-screen) was my first thought, but I can't see how an external monitor would attach. I can't be sure yet though...

     Be incredible if it was an accelerator though!

     @retrotechtive I think someone (@mac84tv maybe?) had a video about that. It may be an accelerator board or a video dual-screen thing for using an external monitor together with the internal one.

     Whatever it is, I think the video I was pondering making will now get made just to explore this!

     I'll have to look at this later on as work resumes shortly... but this was totally unexpected!

     Following it, it leads to this unexpected extra board. Anyone know what it is? (I don't!)

     It looks like this will also prevent the logic board from just sliding out, so I'll have to disassemble the entire machine to get the chassis out first.

     As soon as I turned it on, I could hear this.

     This looks like part of a very professional mod. I removed the power cable, but saw the fan cable seemed to be trailing off elsewhere...

     Now, I wasn't going to show this until I'd at least attempted to make a video for it.

     It's a newly arrived broken #Macintosh Plus from eBay, some of you might have even seen it on there - not very expensive but not working. I couldn't just leave it sitting there in distress so snapped it up.

     However, now it's arrived, it appears this one might be a little bit special...
