Get rid of the 12 inchers. They're awful monitors. Pretty much any Mac multisync monitor will work if you get a Mac-to-VGA adapter that has a *female* Mac plug and a *male* VGA plug (the reverse of the usual setting). The 12" RGB probably will NOT work as it has a fixed res of 512x384. The 14" RGB won't work either, most likely, because it's fixed at 67Hz instead of the 60Hz of VGA. If your video card can drive a 640x480x67Hz signal and can do so *through* an adapter (one with DIP switches is more likely to work than one without), you can probably use one. The 15" Multiscan is your best bet of the ones you mention. There's no way that Portrait will ever work on a peecee, at least not with most standard hardware :) p _____________________________________________________ the pickle The FAQ <http://macfaq.binhost.com/> The Archive <http://www.jmug.org/software/thepickle/> _____________________________________________________ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
