Re: LC II
I'm looking out for a reasonably priced 15 lcd display because the natural resolution is 1024 x 768. That should work with the Radius 8XJ NuBus video card in my Mac IIfx! I want to see OS 6 on an LCD! BTW I modified the Radius card by first de-soldering the Mac video connector. I then used one of the blank Nubus metal plates found on Mac II NuBus slots to mount a PC-type VGA D15 socket onto the card. I used copper wires to re-route the original D connector traces to the correct ones on the new socket. Now I have an OS 6 compatible Nubus video card with a modern VGA socket on it :-) Has the same effect as using one of those video dongels but it's neater! I did have this working on my wife's 17 Sharp LCD but the natural resolution of a 17 is 1280 x 1024 which the card can't do, so a 17 is a waste of money (anyway my wife wouldn't let me steal it :-( - she uses it for her BW G3 tower). The LC outputs a combined sync so you cannot do this with the on-board video. Anybody know where to buy 15 LCDs for cheap?

Re: LC II
--- NODEraser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To my experience, the video adapters won't work at all with the older LC series. You need a genuine Apple RGB monitor. Some of the older multi frequency monitors (NEC MultiSync in particular) with BNC and DB9* or HD15 connectors can be switched between seperate synch or synch on green, thus will work on an older Mac with a simple sense pin switching adaptor. ISTR laying eyes on one with a seperate switch for Mac mode. The other solution is an adaptor that can split the synch signal from the green output to use a monitor with seperate synch line. I think there are ones other than the $$$ one made by Griffin. Then of course the monitor must support the Mac's scan frequencies, which are slightly off from what PCs use at those resolutions. (Then there's the totally un-PC 832x624 resolution.) *Only 8 wires are needed for analog RGB monitors. Some early VGA monitors used a DB9 on the monitor with a 9 to HD15 pin cable for connecting to a PC's VGA card or a 9 to DB15 cable for Macintosh, or flip a switch and use a 9 to 9 cable for connecting to a text only, Hercules, CGA or EGA TTL type PC videocard. What is a bit difficult is finding one of those all in one monitors (with or without TTL video support) that has a .28 dot pitch CRT. Lots of them were .3 or worse and have horrible picture quality. I have an NEC MultiSynch with BNC connectors, It's out in the storage building, in the freezing cold, so I'm not gonna run out and report back on what all other connectors and switches it has, or if it supports TTL. I do know it's one with at least a .28 dot pitch CRT, but in the several times I've searched, I never could find any info about the model number. I think I might have used it with my IIci with Turbo 601. It was my bench monitor for a long time, but it couldn't support higher refresh rates, and it slews the picture sideways with different resolutions.

Is the monitor plugged into the onboard video or a PDS card? What monitor is it? The LCII onboard video requires one that supports sync-on-green, with specific pins connected (sense pins) that tell the Mac which single resolution the monitor supports. In the early years of Macintosh, all Mac monitors displayed at exactly 72 dots per inch. To do that, each size of monitor was fixed to a single resolution so to get more pixels, you had to get a bigger monitor. When NEC introduced MultiSynch monitors to the PC world, Mac videocard makers soon supported them. Apple went meh and stuck with fixed resolution monitors for a while longer. There is a cure for the older Macs. Several companies made various DB15 to HD15 adaptors with either a row of DIP switches or a rotary knob to trick the Mac into thinking a fix resolution with sense pins monitor was connected. Only the more expensive ones would make a monitor with seperate synch work with the Macs that require synch-on-green. I think Griffin still makes the best of the monitor adaptors. It can connect almost any multisync monitor to any Mac that doesn't directly support them. Unfortunately Griffin is very proud of their gizmo and wants around $50 for one.

RAM has never been upgraded from what was in it when I purchased it. I have removed the chips to see if a bad chip was the source of the problem. Still the same result when they are not on the board. 3. I didn't bump anything that I know of. The battery is very easy to get to and there is nothing nearby that I can remember touching when I changed it.

A few questions. 1. Are you using onboard video or a card? 2. Have you upgraded the RAM lately? 3. Did you bump anything when you changed the battery?

Is the monitor plugged into the onboard video or a PDS card? What monitor is it? The LCII onboard video requires one that supports sync-on-green, with specific pins connected (sense pins) that tell the Mac which single resolution the monitor supports. In the early years of Macintosh, all Mac monitors displayed at exactly 72 dots per inch. To do that, each size of monitor was fixed to a single resolution so to get more pixels, you had to get a bigger monitor. When NEC introduced MultiSynch monitors to the PC world, Mac videocard makers soon supported them. Apple went meh and stuck with fixed resolution monitors for a while longer. There is a cure for the older Macs. Several companies made various DB15 to HD15 adaptors with either a row of DIP switches or a rotary knob to trick the Mac into thinking a fix resolution with sense pins monitor was connected. Only the more expensive ones would make a monitor with seperate synch work with the Macs that require synch-on-green. I think Griffin still makes the best of the monitor adaptors. It can connect almost any multisync monitor to any Mac that doesn't directly support them. Unfortunately Griffin is very proud of their gizmo and wants around $50 for one.

Re: LC II as a server?
An LC or an LCII makes a great little headless server. To get around the need for a monitor to boot, I made a small flat-bottomed U-shaped jumper out of a paperclip, just large enough to short pins #7 and #10 on the monitor connector. That makes it think a 640x480 display is attached. I don't know how ASCII-art will look on your system but it sorta looks like this: |___| I tried this but it I can't get it to work.

Re: LC II as a server?
Hi Marten, I guess more ASCII-art is in order!:-) Looking at the *back* of my LC that has the video jumper in place between pins 7 and 10: Pins are numbered from RIGHT to LEFT: 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 o X o o o o o o (The X's mark the two pin-holes that are jumpered) o o o o o X o 1 1 1 1 1 1 9 --- (those read 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9 in that order) 5 4 3 2 1 0 NOTE that I also put a piece of electrical tape as an insulator on the exposed flat part of the jumper.

pin 7 and 10 work for me. Thanks, Bob. Now I can finally put my fanless LC to work as a server.

What is sleeper? That is a control panel that allows you to have the hard disk set to sleep automatically. This way you can reduce heat, noise and energy usage.
