ah. the fabled sync-on-green monitors. this can be remedied with a small monitor adapter device that you plug on the end of the monitor cord. you'll want the kind that has mac db15 plugs on both sides of it. you need not pay the ridiculous prices at Griffin monitors site. [30-something bucks]. I found mine at a PC trade fair for 8, and the swaplist and eBay are bound to have them for maybe 10 bucks, 5 bucks. it should come with a paper describing directions for how to set the tiny dip switches for sync-on-green function.
that's if you want to use your onboard video and not get a card. or don't want to try to find a sync on green monitor. theres no need, really. or-- like the man said, shop on the list for a nubus video card, put it on a nubus slot in your beast, and plug your color monitor in to its connector, once its firmly in place on your motherboard. 'free your RAM, and the rest will follow...' read the LEM articles on Nubus video cards to get a better idea what you're looking for. be sure everything is connected as per my previous post, BEFORE you power up and try to boot. janet http://community.webtv.net/mensabrains/BADCODE -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
