I recently bought a used LC III, but it was the machine only. I have
no monitor for it, but I hear the boot chime when it's powered on, so
I'm assuming it works fine. My question is, since the video out is 15
pin (8/7), can I just get an adapter from that to VGA (5/5/5) and use
an old (non-Apple) C
There are many such adapters available on ebay and other places that
should work fine. I have one I use to connect my Performa 6100/66 to a
VGA CRT monitor. It should work fine as long as the monitor supports
the same resolution or one near it. I think my adapter works with my
LC II, but I can't sa
The 6100 has a different connection than the LC models have.

Yes, there are adapters which convert the Mac monitor pinout into a
VGA connector. They often have dip switches to control the resolution,
and work fine with every Mac! (I tried one in a LC and it worked
perfectly with my 17'' Nokia, which only has VGA connection) - of
course, I was working with 64

Really? Why? (I don't have a 6100, so I can't verify that...)
My adapter works on both the LC and a PowerMac G3 (the Gossamer, beige
model).

Hi !
This is hard to describe. Its name is HDI-45. The one end has the common 7+8
pin VGA 'female' connection; the other end (the whole thing is 19 cm long).
Looks like this:

I use a UniMacFly Apple to VGA adapter that I purchased here: http://
groups.google.com/apple_vga_adapter, and hooked up a Dell flat panel.
The resolution is only 640x480 at this point, but I haven't messed
with the DIP switches much. Regardless, it looks great - and saves a
LOT of desk spac

My Unimac adapter has the labeling for the dip switches in a sticker
placed inside the lid which covers the dip switches... I've chosen the
21'' Apple display, so I can get 1152x864 (I think the numbers are
correct) on my beige G3 (only at thousands of colors, the machine came

Here's how I did it with my 6100.
I had the funky apple adaptor to convert from the wierd audio/video
signal to a regular mac video port. Then I just got a *really* simple
adaptor from ebay to convert to regular VGA (HD15). I set the
resolution to whatever the LCD liked, and I was good to go.

True, but I am using the HDI-45 to normal macintosh video (rgb?) and a
macintosh to vga adapter. That works.

How did we get sidetracked from the LC III to the 6100?
The 6100's port was so apple could bundle in a nice monitor with
built-in speakers that worked with the 6100. One cord carried both
video and audio.
The LC III if im not mistaken didn't have this connection. My

The high-end 8100 models had both built-in video on the HDI port, and a
graphics card with a traditional Mac video port.
