I received the 475 yesterday. The computer still would not boot via the switchbox. I reattached the 13" monitor, and set the monitors cotrol panel to 16 colors (I wonder if I missed this on the LC II?). I re-booted the Mac. I than hooked the 475 to the switch-box, took a deep breath, and re-booted. Lo-and-behold, it works!!! I am a happy camper. No Y-adaptors for me!
Steven I also replaced the monitor with another 1705 that I purchased off of eBay. I was having problems with that, too. > > I am "brand-new" to this list.
