Old Quadra, new monitor — #6

Again, thank you H3nry for your assistance. I've tried Mode 5 VGA 640x480 - separate sync. Result: green screen. I've tried Mode 5 on other resolutions: same old story. Either no …

Congratulations! Thanks for making this a reality. Now, two things: 1) You need to add an external Keypad to the 128K, or use a much more common (and cheaper) Mac Plus keyboard. Ho…

Sir, you are AWESOME. Now I just need to figure out what to do about the fact that I'd forgotten about it being DE-9 and not MiniDIN-8 ... *sigh* Thanks for the link!

Macintosh SE/30 Screen zapping. — #6

You're a bit vague on the details. Are you getting a shock when your hand is placed right in front of the screen? If that is true, then I would agree with tomlee59. But if you h…

Old Quadra, new monitor — #5

OK, try "mode 5 VGA 640x480" separate sync. Avoid mode 6, sync on green, is what I meant to say. If the picture won't stop rolling / tearing, the monitor may require SOG (mode 6) b…
