Folks, I'm coming back to the barracks after a long hiatus, in the hope that someone can point me towards a solution.
The problem: I wanted to put a newish CRT monitor to good use by connecting it to my trusty Quadra 950. It's not an Apple monitor, so I used a DB15 Male to HD15 Female 10 DIP Switch MAC to VGA Adapter (this one exactly). I tried many of the dip switch combinations listed in the manual, but the only two results I get are:
1. No image.
2. I get the image with no distortions but instead of colours, everything has a green tinge.
I also have a second, simpler video adapter, with just one switch. The two settings are 21" Multi and VGA/G3. With either of these settings I see the image, but it's all green, like n. 2 above.
I understand it's mostly a case of trial-and-error, and that probably I'll have to try some combinations that are not listed in the manual (the examples are for old monitors) but I'm getting frustrated and I was hoping to hear from people in a similar situation if, and how, they managed to solve this issue. I'd hate to be unable to take advantage of such a beautiful monitor.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Rick
