So, at the suggestion of Gregg, I bought a "smart" DB15-to-VGA adapter on eBay. I didn't buy the one he sent in the link because I feared it might not be compatible. However, after a quick search, I found that there is a Griffin adapter with better compatibility. Thanks for the suggestion, Gregg! The adapter has 8 DIP switches that allow for interpretation of monitors. I could send a 640x480 or 832x624 resolution to a 1440x900 display (or some variation of that). I'll let everybody know when I get it just how well it works. In the interim, anybody have any suggestions, in terms of software or hardware, for file sharing between two system 7 machines, neither of which have ethernet? I have a MiniDin8 cable hooked up to the back of both machines, but I can't get them to recognize each other. Suggestions? -Jake On Nov 16, 3:04 pm, "J.
