The Multisync monitor worked, thanks so much for the tip. I still need to fiddle a bit with the dip switches on the VGA adapter to get the best resolution, but that can wait, I guess.

How would I be able to tell which video card is in the computer? Does it have a distinctive label on the card itself, or would I need to run diagnostic software on the computer?

The newest challenge is that the hard drive doesn't seem to want to mount (though I am able to get it to power up), but that is a more familiar challenge. The floppy drive does work, but the only system disks I had handy were 6.0.8, which are a bit limited in function!

Next, I guess I will spend some time diagnosing the old HD and maybe seeing if I can get the computer to work with another HD.

(Incidentally, the back of my other monitor tells me that it is a "High Resolution RGB Apple Monitor." Don't know what that means, but you will be glad to hear it is working as well as ever with the IIsi.)
