My PowerMac 7300 (which has since died) came with a 15" Apple monitor that I assume it was originally bundled with.

The PowerMac obviously has an Apple monitor connector on the back. The monitor, however, had a standard VGA-style plug on it, so the cable to connect them was Apple->VGA. No dip switches or anything.

I've used this to connect a Quadra 700 (both in-built and some low-end NuBus video card), an LC III and of course that PowerMac 7300 (and now a 7500) to my Fujitsu-Siemens 19" 4:3 TFT by connecting the magic cable to the monitor cable via a gender changer.

I've only ever got 832x624 out of any of these machines, though, despite the Quadra and the PowerMac having a full complement of VRAM SIMMs. But it works with no problems...

edit - That being said, the same TFT works with my SGI O2, so it must support SoG. The model number is P19-2P, I think. It's a few years old as I recall.
