Whilst in a self-induced trance, SUPRDAVE(a)aol.com happened to blather:

...
 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. i'm having a
video problem with the monitor. i don't get any kind of raster screen and i
do not have the special card to run it on my //e. i've tried it on the video
port of my laser 128 and on my dodgy apple ///, all to no avail. can anyone
figure out a possible solution? if i cannot get it to work, i'd like to get
rid of it, but it's so heavy it wouldnt be worth shipping unless you live in
north carolina.  
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...) When I say
later-model, I'm talking a Mac IIsi or something like that, altho I think
the PowerMacs use that connector as well, and I believe it's compatible. (I
had my Mac IIsi hooked up to the monitor we use for a PowerMac 6100/60 at
work, and it worked fine.)

If you're looking to get rid of it, I would pay shipping to Michigan...
yea, it'd be expensive, but if it's a nice tube, it would make my Mac
happy... (all I have is the base, but it only cost me $5 and it works!) Got
a keyboard & mouse to round out the deal???  ;-)

HTH,
