I recently picked a Macintosh High Res mono monitor
(from a
Macintosh II system) out of the trash. I'd like to use it with an
old PC I have that has a VGA card. I've found a pinout for a
VGA->Mac cable at www.technick.net, but I'm wondering if it will
work with a mono Mac monitor, as opposed to a color one.
If it's a VGA monitor, it should work fine. One interesting question,
does Windows have a profile for that monitor? I know I've seen other
Apple monitors listed, but I haven't played with a desktop PC in a
while. I've never liked telling a computer that it has a generic
monitor... But then I'm a weird person :-) I suppose you'll be OK as
long as it's not on of those old Apple II monitors(the monitor for
the IIgs has the same 15-pin connector, but is NOT VGA).
Would it happen to be the model M0400? I found a web page that shows
it is a 12" 640x480. I don't see anything else there that matches.
The page shows compatibility with various NuBus video cards -
