In my experience, prior to the Apple Cinema Display & TiBook launches, 99% of Apple business systems I worked on had 3rd party monitors (Radius, SuperMac, Sony, Barco).

I was going to post these when I got around to starting a 'Conquests' thread, but here are some from a free Q650 I got off CL.

I’m not sure, but it would make sense that it would be male since the scsi connector on Macs are female. I suppose if you wanted to use it with a cable that would be problematic.
