So far searches have not gotten me far Mac wise.
That DB-15 port isn't a video port...ordinarily, it'd be a joystick port, but that doesn't sound quite right either. Have a look at this: http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/user_manuals/myst/mysteng.pdf Page 22 identifies it as a "Rainbow Runner Input/Output Connector"...looks like it's a video-in/out connector, with S-video and composite in and out. Unless there's a ROM with which to flash it (unlikely), you're not going to get it to work. I have a similar card around here somewhere, but got bugger-all out of it in my beige G3. I ended up getting a no-name PCI Radeon 7000 (was $60 or so @ Fry's) and flashing that. Everything on that card works...I even "borrowed" the Monitor II green-screen off my IIe and booted into Mac OS X with just that monitor plugged in (on the composite output), for sh*ts and grins.
