Ill Try to answer the best i can.
Those monitors , if they only have the RCA plug, probably wont work on macintoshes.
They sound like the kind of monitors that work with the apple II, commodore 64 and other early 80's computers, that use an RCA type plug.
Macintosh computers generally have their own special video connector exclusive to the Macintosh, until later they adopted the industry standard of the VGA type that is common among Macs and PC's today. There ARE many adapters available for using VGA displays with Macintoshes with Mac connectors. Often this is a small converter plug adaptor between the mac and the video cable.
Some earlier macs have RCA plugs in the back, but these were specialized type connectors in "AV" macs (Audio Visual) that allowed you to import video and sound into these macs for doing video work.
I don't think that it is feasible to use those RCA displays with any macs, as even prehistoric macs used more "advanced" technology than the RCA video connector.
They would be great with the apple II series I'm betting.
Even on some of the last of the apple II line of computers, they were starting to pull away from using only RCA jacks. The mac never used them.
If it is possible, I have never seen or heard of the adaptor. The old RCA displays don't really have the resolution for the macs with their advanced graphics and so forth.
Those displays may work with old IBM computers , like the very first ones, and other of the pioneer "personal computers"
upper 90's macs , not likely , sorry.
Hope that can help some how, Carter

This is the Mac-challenged, and humbled doctor requesting some information on some monitors I got in a lot sale. They have a RCA plug in in them and I have RCA cable. My question is, do these only fit in prehistoric Macs that also have a RCA plug in or is there some kind of adapter to use them on more mid to upper 90's versions of Macintosh's? Thank you. doctortom
