I recall using a couple of Raster Ops NuBus cards that worked with fixed frequency monitors. You have to hold down a particular key combination at startup and the card cycles through the supported ranges until it matches the monitor. At subsequent boots, the card remembers which frequency to use. So there is a chance of getting it working with your Mac. I'm sure others on the list will know of cards with similar capabilities. > > The 6091-19 were originally used on IBM RS/6000 > systems and one was staring Gary Kasparov in > the face when he lost to Big Blue.
