I'm not claiming to come to the rescue here, but what are the particulars of the
monitor? Many mac monitors operate on a fixed frequency, typically ~64 khz. If it's
color especially, I can't imagine it not working w/ most any high resolution card
(I've seen many on eBay this week). My old IIcx has a card (the name and man. escapes
me - Futura? Not sure if it was Radius or Emachines) that has the ability to dial up
probably a dozen different frequencies.
My original Mac II also had a bizarro b&w monitor. Can't remember if it had a
dedicated card (I think it must have). Had considerable screen burn, but was still as
sharp as a tack! Love those old monsters.
Heh heh. I've been looking for a b&w "2 page" monitor for some time
(actually I found a good sized HP unit which would have run on an early 90s UX box). If
you ever get tired of waiting for the right setup...
