Sorry for not getting back to this sooner. In the time since I sent 
my first message, I found Pickle's FAQ and saw the notes about the 
LCs (and IIci) not syncing up with various monitors.

It's funny, I had taken the meaning of those notes to be that the LC 
and LC II would NOT sync up to monitors other than the earliest ones 
that Apple made at the same time. But Pickle, it sounds like you're 
telling me you would expect them to sync with the two MultipleScan 
monitors.

As for the two High Resolution Monitors, yes they have different 
model numbers. Hadn't noticed before- the older one is "Model number 
M0401, and the newer one is "Family number M1297". I guess that 
explains the difference, but it doesn't seem to explain why these 
machines won't sync up them.

Right now I'm leaning towards wiring up an adaptor a la that Apple 
article cited in the FAQ, so I can use it with my VGA (which was the 
intention all along). It'll be tricky since I already have two Macs 
connected to that monitor via a CompuCable ADB switchbox. I'm 
expecting I'll need to have the VGA adaptor for the LC downstream of 
the switchbox, because if it's upstream of it, the adaptor will 
probably get thrown off by the CompuCable's resolution-switching 
logic. Especially since the in-ports for the switch box are Apple 
DB-15- it only has a standard VGA port going out to the monitor. And 
I guess I'll need to build a second switching box, so that the the 
CompuCable can have access to the monitor straight through.

But if anyone wants to continue the probe into why Apple's 
MultipleScans aren't working, I'm happy to try stuff out.

Joseph is being modest, he knows a good amount about Macs. Pickle, 
you forgot to specify if you wanted Curly or Homestyle. [-D
