I picked up a box of the things on Ebay once, mainly to keep them out
of a landfill and preserve the old Mac stuff. So now I sell them for
just enough to make it worth putting them in an envelop and addressing
it.

How would you rate the quality of the ones you got? I've bought several
dirt cheap ones over the years (not from you, mind you) and they've
rarely lasted very long. I'm not sure if it's all the switches that make
them fragile, or if they're just very poorly made, or what, but they
always seem to die quickly.
On the other hand, I have a different adapter with no switches that's
just a little black rectangle that's worked on everything from a
PowerMac 8500 to a IIci to a LC475 that's attached to everything from an
old 15" multisync to a 24" 1080P LCD. I haven't noticed any particular
limitation in resolutions either, which was often a problem if I didn't
get the switched ones set up just right. Maybe someday I'll put a
multimeter to it and figure out the pin mappings.
