   The video card
ic an Apple Computer Inc. 820-0198-A7 Mackintosh II Video   Card.
  It was packed separately from the computer, and condition is unknown.
   The story here is that a couple of friends closed up their repair
  business, and yesterday contributed a van load of computers and other odds
  and ends to my collection. I have had no Mac experience, the only other one
  in the collection is a Mac +, so don't really know what I am doing. I would
  like to make an adapter to go from the Mac 15 pin video,(size of a game
  port) to a standard VGA monitor. 
i have a 4 bit video card in my cx, and i tried one of those cable adaptors 
that allows a mac  to use a vga monitor. the best i could get was a rolling 
screen that was green to due to the sync on green signal not connected right. 
i do have a ci that uses an adaptor and successfully worked with a nec 
multisync display. only thing i can suggest is get one of those video cable 
connectors for macs with all the dip switches, and a multisync monitor and 
try various combinations to see if it works.
