Thanks to all that helped with this. I'll look into it.

You may need an adapter with switches that you can configure for the specific monitor / computer setup. It may also be that your monitor doesn't support sync-on-green. Early Macs carried the video sync signal on the green video line. Mac monitors extract the sync. SOME VGA monitors do it, many don't. While there were adapters to extract the sync they were uncommon and quite rare now. If it is sync-on-green you'll need a different monitor. But finding a VGA monitor that supports sync-on-green is problematic, few advertise it or spec it in the manual. I have found some modern LCD monitors support it.

It had a functioning photo with a 13" vintage Mac monitor. I've bought the appropriate cables to physically plug it into my 15-20 year old Sony 15" monitor. I can't get it to work. -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
