Okay so i have this monitor that i use with my Quadra 650 and its 640x480 resolution. http://www.everymac.com/monitors/apple/classic_monitors/specs/apple_mac_color_disp.html

I wanted to try running an old PC on it and possibly my Dreamcast via VGA box since 640x480 would be fine for them. I don't really have room for a Mac monitor and seperate CRT for my older PCs. If i cant get this one to work i may have to buy a VGA CRT monitor, but it would be nice to have the older Mac monitor with the Quadra 650. I have my main pc and also an older Philips (commodore) monitor with scart for my amiga, so rooms a bit tight where everything is set up.

I have 2 adapters for it, but i get a screen sync type of error.

So i bought a 6 switch adapter (with manual) used a gender converter and that doesn't work either.
