Any recommendations on this Y-adaptor? I have a few monitor cables that I purchased off of eBay last year (so I can have the Mac go to the switch box). I also have a friend that's an "expert" on electronics/soldering. If we just match up the wires and solder them together, will this work? BIG question here. The 1705 monitor requires a special cable. The end that plugs into the monitor, looks like a PC plug, while the other end is a standard Mac cable. Will a PC cable work on the Mac? I know both ends are smaller, but I have the adaptors/etc. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
