Some older adapters are made specifically for Macs that use 'Sync on green' such as Mac II and early nubus or pds graphics boards. This would mean one of the sync lines would be on the green colour channel. If you monitor does not support this it would be without that sync line (in this case v.sync) causing the picture to scroll. Get a new adapter, one with at least 10 switches and make sure you get the instruction sheet with it as they are hard to work without one. -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: http://fpm.gotdns.com Mac LC Central My homepage: http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson/ -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
