[comp.sys.mac] Using a NEC MultiSync with Mac II

jww@sdcsvax.UCSD.EDU (Joel West) (05/16/87)

A local dealer kindly provided me with the manual for the NEC
Multisync.  It provides a detailed pin assignment and advice for use
with non-IBM drivers.  The information seems pretty clear on hooking one
up to a Mac II, although, according to Apple's shipment desk, if a
developer hasn't received one yet, the next batch is a month away.

I've also heard that the Sony Multiscan (essentially the Apple monitor)
works well, is available now, and is cheap ($550 through mail-order).
No independent confirmation, though.
