Well, aside from all the audio (and possibly composite video) connections you've got. I'd say that your monitor is either EGA or CGA - which means that it is not capable of very high resolutions at all.RGB is a generic term, meaning that the device (monitor) accepts red, green and blue signals plus some kind of sync signal. For example RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB...etc 68k MLA ParaMedic |

I've got the same monitor... or at least similar... the 1084s. Picked it up with my //e. So far I haven't found a way to hook it up to a mac - not that I've been trying that hard.Given its age, I've been assuming that even if I could get it up and running, the resolution would unusably low. For example, HGR mode on the //e was a massive 280x192. Not much good for displaying for those 128x128 OSX icons! CC Current score: 1 Apple //e
1 PB 520c
1 Quadra 700
1 Quadra 800 (recently resurrected!)
