Macintosh 512+ Oddities... Any ideas? — #4

ADC display for a Power Mac G3 — #11

You're right, ADC wasn't the stupidest choice they ever made. Abandoning it was. If Apple had stayed with ADC and developed a more powerful connector to power their larger CRTs and…

Oh, well this is rather unfortunate. ADC was the stupidest thing apple ever created. I do have a PC 15" monitor that I can use, but the quality on apple displays is far superior. T…

Macintosh 512+ Oddities... Any ideas? — #3
