You are probably using an Apple standard DB-15 connector (2 rows of pins) for the video. You will need an adapter to convert the Apple connector to an SVGA (HDB-15 3 rows of pins). Once you have that, any LCD monitor that uses a VGA connector should work with no problems. I think Griffin Technology still sells the adapter. -- -- Mr. PopMan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Does anybody want to play a game of pinball?"
