Hi Nick! I have found a little information on what you are looking for. Check this out:
There are several types of monitor adapters that may be necessary with a 6100-series machine: HDI-45 to DB-15--Allows a standard Mac monitor to attach to that funny monitor port on the motherboard DB-15 to VGA--Allows a standard VGA (i.e. PC-style) monitor to attach to a Mac. Often has DIP switches or a dial to set specific sense codes DB-15 to DB-15--Has DIP switches or a dial to set specific sense codes for monitors that don't supply them S-Video to RCA--Allows standard TVs or VCRs to hook into the input and output ports on the AV card The HDI-45 adapter (Apple part #M2681LL/A) was supplied with all non-AV models of the 6100 series, but if you bought yours second hand or if you've lost the use of your AV card, you may not have one of these. They retail for about $45, but you can often find them for $25 or less on ebay or Usenet newsgroups. The DIP switch or dial-type adapters allow you to tell the Mac what kind of monitor you have attached to your machine by setting "sense pins." This is necessary when using a PC-style (i.e. VGA) monitor, or when using certain older Mac-compatible monitors that don't set the sense pins properly. It is difficult to figure out what settings to use if you don't have the original documentation for your adapter. If you have a Sony MacView adapter, Sony has a very good faxback system that provides documentation for all their products. Call Sony's Fax on Demand line at: (800) 883-7669 press 2, then request one of the following document numbers 2851--for the original MacView adapter (silver gray with 2 rows of DIP switches) 2852--for the MacView II adapter (w/o dial) 2853--for the MacView LX adapter 2854--for the MacView LX II adapter (silver) For other Sony product documentation, you can order the Fax on Demand index by pressing 1, or else download a PDF of that same index at: http://www.ita.sel.sony.com/support/av/techfax.html I got the fax, it's a bit much to type here but if you do not have access to a fax machine, I could scan it and email to you. Thanks! Bart -----Original Message----- From: G-List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Scott Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 9:40 PM To: G-List Subject: 17" studio B&W I need help. I have a db15 M / hddb15 F ( i think that is right), VGA- Mac adapter. It is originally made by MacView. It has 2 rows of 8 switches. I'm running a powermac g3 blue&white 400mhz with a 17" studio monitor. I am at my wits-end about what to do with this thing. None of the configurations on the label work. Would anyone know what the switch configuration would be for my case? Thanks Nick Scott -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
