The pinouts on the LC video port have the same name as on a VGA monitor, I have also heard that the LC supports VGA. If I was to make a conversion cable that just swapped the appropriate pins does anyone if this will work correctly? Thanks in advance, Colin colin@lingua.cltr.uq.oz.au

The latest version of Mac Tech Note #144 describes how to connect a VGA monitor to the Mac LC. In short, this is how to make the cable... LC Pin VGA Pin Signal name ------ ------- ----------- 1 6 Red ground 2 1 Red video signal 5 2 Green video signal 6 7 Green ground 9 3 Blue video signal 13 8 Blue ground 15 13 /HSYNC 12 14 /VSYNC 14 10 HSYNC ground 7, 10 nc SENSE1 & SENSE2 tied together The LC supports 640x480x16 on a VGA monitor, or 640x480x256 if you have 512k VRAM. NOTE: The Tech Note warns that some low impedence VGA monitors will not work with the Mac LC. -Paul Wenker -Apple Computer, Inc.

The documentation on it is in the February 1991 version of Technical Note 144 from Developer Technical Support
