If this is the wrong topic section, my apologies. This display did come with a Quadra, so it's my best guess.
I was wondering if I could use my Macintosh 16" Color Display on my much newer Power Mac G4 if I use an Apple DB15 to VGA adapter in conjunction with a DB15 female-to-female gender changer. The Power Mac G4 does support the display's fixed resolution of 832x624 at 75 Hz (just checked, and the flat panel I currently have hooked up to it is set to that exact res and frequency), but is that all that's required for it to work? Is there an ID signal carried by the older Mac video standard that wouldn't be compatible with the newer VGA ID signal?
I can always just try it, but I'd rather ask first so I don't destroy a perfectly good 30 year old Trinitron monitor, nor my dual 500 G4.
Thanks in advance.
