Old style video out is a DA15, there is no such thing as a DB15. Most Mac video on pre-quadra machines used Sync-On-Green only. That is the sync signal was embedded in the green video channel. Most VGA monitors use separate sync, the sync signals are carried on one or two dedicated pins. There were a few VGA monitors that could use Sync-On-Green but they are quite rare. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
