I use a switch box (no adapter) between an Amiga and a 7500 Mac daily with no problems. Key thing was to make sure the cable from the Macintosh to the switch box handled the correct resolution. I found out some PC monitor cables do not handle the signals correctly. -- John -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
