i have this big
apple monitor that i need some help with. it's big, beige,
and heavy with a motorized tilt screen and a db15 connector. ...
If it's a sub-miniature DB-15, then that sounds like a PC VGA plug-in. If
it's a normal-sized DB-15, then that sounds like it's a direct-connect for
a later-model Smackintosh. (I say this jokingly, I have one...)
Actually, no, it won't work with a Mac, even though the connector type
is the same. This is an AppleColor 100 (for a IIe), which is digital
RGB, not the analog type that Macintoshes (and VGA displays) expect.
The IIgs RGB monitor also uses a 15-pin connector, but it's not
compatible with either the IIe or the Mac monitors.
