Use the cable from an Apple 15" multiscan (those monitors that have the reputation for bad solder joints on the gun - Apple had a replacement policy extended way beyond their warranty expirey date). This cable has the correct fitting for attaching to a Mac to plain vanilla PC monitors. Using a similar spec multisync PC monitor works a treat, your Mac thinks it has a Mac 15" multiscan. No adaptors or dip switches involved. Nice. However, In your case Steve, I would guess that your monitor is on the blink and not the adaptor. Test if you can, with a known good monitor.
