I've just hooked up my old Quadra 800, (bought from new) which my sister still uses as her main computer (we bought a epson 750 for it a while back to replace the original LS laser that went tech a few years back), to a PC 17" monitor running at 1024x768. I wonder what she will think of the difference from the original apple 14" monitor that its been using since new. However I've a few questions about some of the Apple/Mac to PC VGA Monitor Adapters I have lying around and am using to hook up the PC screen. One is a Unimac 82D, another is the Unimac - fly and the last one is unmarked but has 10 dip switches.
1) Anyone know how the one with 10 dip switches is configured? 2) Whats the difference between setting the Unimac's to G3 640x480 through 1600x1200 or just to on the fly switching for the various monitor sizes 17" for example. 3) Whats the difference between seperate sync and sync on green and also between c.sync1 and c.synch2? 4) Does it matter which graphics card Mac, or Monitor you run? 5) Is there any difference in signal quality between these adapters? 6) Does it matter which version of the Classic OS you run 7 through 9 ? 7) I've tried using the Unimac 82D and the Unimac - Fly on a PC 17" monitor, at 832x624. The monitor emits a high pitched sound when used with the Unimac - fly but only at this resolution. All other resolutions are fine. 1024x768 runs fine for example. Any thoughts why this would be. I assume the refresh rates are the same. Incidentally this Quadra is finally becoming obsolete as I was unable to find a modem for the Quadra to enable internet access, here in Ireland. What other uses are there for this old mac. What do you guys use them for? Thanks Mark McCague -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
