Ah. DB9 no, DB15 si. (I'd almost forgotten those ....) You're right. A bunch of the SE30 video cards use the more standard Apple DB15 pin output ...the inexpensive little Mac-to-VGA adapters often work just fine on those.
For DB9s to work, you'd have to figure out all the various sense & colour lines (I actually did this once, years back, and hacked together a cable for a Full Page Display - and it worked, wonder of wonders, until the display died - but the notes for it are lost in too many moves over the years ...hmm, I wonder if I kept the cable knocking around somewhere though: I'll check). Generally NWI, and way too much effort. I'd just keep my eyes open for a card with the more more standard DB15 ...those come up often enough, too. ---brandon davis --- -- sacramento, ca -- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2003 14:39:27 -0400 (EDT) From: Jacob Rose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: SE/30 questions (monitor and screws) > > But IF you have a PC on your systems desk - with its requisite monitor - > then I'd think that the addition of a KVM switch (keyboard-video-mouse: > basically a device that lets you share a single keyboard, mouse and monitor > amongst up-to-several computers) and a Mac-to-VGA adapter (for connecting > the SE30 internal video card output to the input of the KVM, and thence > onward to the PC monitor), would rather make the whole arrangement quite > within the realm of the decidely and practically useful, and without the > least diminution of the "all-in-one" concept. Well, okay. I'm not sure what type of card you're talking about. The card I offered on eBay is a Radius Full Page Display card for SE30. What kind of adapter would connect that to a VGA display? I thought these cards were designed for Radius monitors and Radius alone...no? I'm pretty sure the output is a DB9 connector. -- -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
