I downloaded Mosaic for the Mac, but I can't use it. I need a newer version
a Stuffit. The version I have is 1.5, and it just doesn't cut it anymore
(it was on the computer when I got it). I tried to download it, but you
need the new version to open the archive to install the new version
(basically useless).
Does anyone have a copy that they could email to me or something
(TeleDisk?)?

New subject: Macintosh Color Monitor
I purchased a Color monitor for the Macintosh at the local Salvation Army store
yesterday.
I noticed it had an apple standard connector for video on it..
I was hopeing it would work on my Apple IIgs, however it apperantly
will not, even though the plug is compatable..
Question: Is this monitor a VGA type ? Even though it has the same apple
connector..?
I am assuming the Apple IIgs computer uses an RGB/CGA type monitor ?
I also looked on my Apple Mac SE, and saw no connection for an external monitor
so
I guess it will not work with the SE Mac..
If it woun't work on my Apple Mac SE or Apple IIgs, What does this monitor work
on ?
No model number on it, just says Macintosh Color Monitor on the back of it..
Can someone tell me what the pinouts are for this monitor ?
Is it IBM VGA compatable if I build an adaptor to a standard vga 15 pin..?
It looks like a very well built monitor, possibly a Sony Trinitron Tube in it..
Thanks for the help... Phil...

right, my Mac won't let me cut and paste between X-Windows and MacOS, and I

I think so, but when it comes to Mac's and video it seems like nothing is
standard! Personally I won't touch a Macintosh monitor, I use good
Multisync monitors on my Mac's, or a really cheesy ancient Magnavox VGA
monitor.

type monitor ?
Yes.
I also looked on my Apple Mac SE, and saw no connection
for an external
monitor

Well, the odds are it will, BUT you won't want to pay what it will cost.
Video cards for SE's and SE/30's are available, but unless you get lucky,
they'll probably cost an arm and a leg. My SE/30 has one, and I've driven
a NEC 3D Multisync with it.
If it woun't work on my Apple Mac SE or Apple IIgs,

Well.... If it's the monitor listed on the web page I list above, it's
looks to be amazingly close to stardard VGA, honestly not sure how
compatible "Old Fashioned" VGA is with modern video cards though.
As for an adapter, it should be possible. A standard Macintosh-to-VGA
adapter has a female connector for the VGA video, and a Male connector for
that wierd Mac Video connector. Are those the connections you need? If
so, I'd imagine it isn't that hard to get them, if not, they do make gender
changers that would hopefully allow you to use the adapter. WARNING: it
seems not all of these adapters are created equal, I've tried using the NEC
3D adapter on a Sony 20", and it wouldn't work. However, I'm able to use
the one from the Sony 20" on a Viewsonic P815 (thankfully since the P815
didn't come with one).

WARNING: it seems not all of these adapters are created
equal
That's for sure, I have two adapters to use regular high-density VGA
cables
with the Mac DB-15(which has been known to get mixed up when an ethernet
card is nearby...), the one that came with my Apple monitor worked fine,
but some cheapy thing really distorted the screen, ot the point where the
monitor was almost impossible to use...
As for the monitor in question, it's a relativley normal VGA monitor with
an Apple plug. Won't work with the IIgs, it needs a IIgs monitor that has a
sync rate about half that of VGA monitors. But it will work fine for a
Mac(or PC with a VGA card).

I guess I will keep it around, never know when I will stumble across
a Mac that needs this type of monitor.. I only paid $9.99 at the
local Goodwill store for it so its no big loss..
My Thanks to Aron and Zane for the great Web sites on the Mac
monitor.. I book marked'em for future reference..
