'Jawohl, herr Doktor Nipkov, wir haben Bild!!'

It works.
Well, sort of.
Actually, to be honest, it doesn't.

Today, using a left-over Mac 15-pin monitor-cable, I hooked up a complete
LC II to the analog board of an SE/30. I disconnected the SE/30 logic
board, but left a HD running for some load on the power supply.
Hsync, Vsync, Video and GND were forwarded to the SE/30 screen according to
the PinOuts that John Snook provided earlier, Video being Green only for
now. Sense 0 and 2 (pin 4 & 10) were connected to ground to talk the LC
into the 384 x 512 resolution. sense 1 (pin 7) was left open. The LC was
set to B+W.

The SE/30 didn't like it very much, but a readable image was produced.
(does this sound early television days or what !!?! :)
White was black and vice versa, image smaller than expected, way to much
upward, a bit distorted, and a fat white zig-zag line (like a heart beat,
but 90 deg rotated) trough everything.

I could clearly see desktop icons. Opened a few, typed a bit, but had to
close them with the k/b. Menubar was too way up to see. I guessed where
'special' would be, got it right after a few times, and 'shutdown' became
visible. That was 5 minutes ago.

Now I wonder how I could improve things. Any idea's?
