What adapter are you using?

Hmm, without the cheat sheet of switch positions, it's a going to be a little work. Maybe google up some documentation on the different adapters and find some positions that are likely to work. I would imagine most 10 position units are copies of each other.
Try this one, maybe?

OK. What monitor are you using, and has it worked with any other Macs?
For my Samsung, I needed 1-4-6-7-9 set "on"... Best of luck!
What monitor are you using? It needs to be a multisync, as standard 60Hz only VGA displays aren't going to show anything with IIsi Vampire Video's refresh rates.
That's IIRC, but it's probably a good bet that it's on the money.

Absolutely weird, that's why you've gotta have a really good MultiSync CRT or LCD in any 68K kit. AFAIK, Apple didn't support 60Hz VGA/SVGA until they developed the Quadra 630 and its TV Tuner/AV setup.
Nope, you'd need a NuBus adapter (not inexpensive) and only fairly expensive, later time frame NuBus cards do 60Hz output. There's no way to get 60Hz output out of the RCPII/IIsi.
Your best investment would definitely be a good MultiSync display, IMO. It's an integral tool in any 68K kit and it'll work with any Mac you might pick up in the future. For just a few bucks more you would be all set with an inexpensive Radius Color Pivot II/IIsi acting as a PDS passthru riser while it's driving your MultiSync display.
YMMV

Check out craigslist, if it's not in the description you can search the model number for specs. Dell UltraSync(?) LCDs are top notch, that's what I have on my desk ATM. I've not used them with the 68Ks though, but others have highly recommended them. Mine are Pivots.
Sometimes I think I'm more Radius collector than Mac collector. I've picked up many of the different KDS/Radius models off eBay. Some actually have both VGA and Mac inputs, some have VGA with unimplemented Mac connectors, while some have VGA only, all I've got are old school Mac resolution/refresh rate friendly.
