We have a "Macintosh Color Display" connected to a Quadra 610, basic
VRAM (two 256K SIMMs are on their way.)
About a year ago, something in the motherboard or display changed:
Vertical corduroy instead of solid boundaries around windows, text is
harder to
read, so I put it on the projects shelf . Now that I have some time to
work on it,
should I replace the motherboard, install additional VRAM or replace the
Display?
First step is to narrow it down to the computer or the display. Do you
have another computer or display you can swap in?
We have a B&W G3 and a turquoise iMac, a HP flat_screen and a Dell
monitor. I don't know if the iMac
has a hidden plug for an external monitor but as the other three only
have HD-15s (three rows of five
pins,) I expect that'd be true of the iMac also.
It is.
The Quadra and the A. C. D. use DB-15 - two rows of pins - seven above,
eight below.
I might, given pin-out lists for both, a voltmeter and some time, be
able to adapt.
You can get an adapter to go from DA-15 (Mac) to HD-15 (VGA).
