A report on the works here. For connection of a Mac with a monitor-out
connector to a Classic monitor (like the LC that started this all), I'm in
process of soldering a test setup:

PIN on     PIN on other Mac's
14-PIN     15-PIN
Block      Monitor
Classic    connector    SIGNAL
1          *            (+12V)
2          *            (+5V)
3          *            (+5V)
4          12           /VSYNC
5          15           /HSYNC
6          5 **        VIDOUT
7          ***          (SND)
8          *            (-12V)
9          ****         PWM
10-14      1+6+11+13+14 GND

* Maybe we can even use the Classic's power supply for something else than
a compact's logic board. Measurement is needed. For starters, with the LC,
I'll use the LC power supply unit (PSU); it's small enough.

** I'm going to test it with green only first. I have a

*** sound comes from the internal speaker connector. on the LC board.

**** Pin 9 is going to be the bottleneck in any attempt to 'quick-n-dirty'
connect a non-Classic logic board to a Classic analog board+monitor, since
it is unique to the classic. My guess is that this requires an add-on
circuit that generates a PWM signal. First, I'm going to try it without.

The sense pinning on the 15 pin mon connector, as read by the LC is set to
12" RGB, 384 x 512 pixels: pin 4 and 10 grounded.
