[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Can I hook an Apple 24-bit card to a Radius display?

ngo@sparkle.harvard.edu (Thomas Ngo) (08/01/90)

    How similar are the pinouts on different manufacturers' video
    cards?  I am interested in connecting my Apple 24-bit video card
    to my Radius two-page display. 

    (1) Can I cause any damage this way?
    (2) Is this likely to work?
    
    Thanks in advance.

    Not to the display.

    No. Radius has standardized on 75Hz, 1152x882 (2 FULL pages). I don't
  think the Apple board can drive this.
