1) Is it possible to wire the 15-pin monitor connector up to a PC's VGA
monitor? Or,
There used to adapters available that would let you connect VGA monitors to
Macs. These normally (or often, at least) had DIP switches to let you
select what size of monitor to emulate (in effect, setting the maximum
resolution).
Again, Macs of that vintage dealt with the DDC codes in the
VGA monitors just fine; if you have an adaptor that connects
them straight through, you'll be good. There are lots of cheap
ones that should do it, but I know that at least the Griffin
MacPnP adaptor (one of the ones with DIP switches) had a
setting to pass them through.
