Hi Christian, Welcome to the Vintage Macs Group.
I can tell you that the video adapters that plug into your Performa and a standard VGA monitor work fine. I used them years ago and I still have them. I currently run a Performa 475 through a DB15 to HD15 adapter to a 14" LCD screen with a HD15 plug. It's odd seeing the display so sharp but it's a real delight! It also works with the 12" Apple Colour monitor I have but I need that for the LC! You might be able to pick up a low cost, second hand 14" or 15" LCD monitor with SVGA/VGA resolution. That will be fine for your use. I have the 14" LCD mounted on the wall so that I don't lose real estate on the desk. Good luck!

I'm new to the 68k Mac world, being a Apple ][ and PPC guy more than anything, and I really have no idea half the time what anything is in the 68k Mac world because Macs were kind of, well, weird at the time, let's just leave it at that. I am in the market for a 68k Mac, preferably one of the later ones, and I've found a nice cheap Performa 630CD on eBay, with fully upgraded RAM, a 33 MHz stock processor, a power cord, and a keyboard and mouse (although I don't think it's the right mouse, cause it is the trapezoid mouse and it's a lot more yellowed than the keyboard). Anyways, the point is I'd like to know some info on the machine and if anyone here has had any luck with those DB15 to VGA things on one of these because unfortunately, I do not own a Mac monitor and probably won't for quite some time simply because I don't have the desk space for a CRT right now, and if not, where I could find a VGA card of some type for it. My only other questions are what good games or cool programs are there for a Mac of this age, what OS should I run on it (Mac OS 7.5? 8.1? 9?), and lastly, what are my upgrade options if I want to put a DOS card or some other expansion card in here?
