- Here is how to get the most out of Your Multisync Monitor connected
- to Your Apple:
-
- With Apple's New Multiple-Scan-Monitor-Software which works on all Quadras
- You can switch the resolution of Your screen without shutting down Your Mac
- or pulling switches or changing Adapters!
- So first get a copy of this Software.
-
- Second You have to tell Your Mac that the Monitor supports Multiple Frequencies:
- get 2 Sub-D 15-Pin connectors, one male, one female.
- get 1 Diode.
- connect all Pins but 4,7,10 straight between the two connectors.
- on the male side of the connector short pins 4 and 11 with a wire.
- connect the diode between pin 7 and 10 of the male connector in
- a way that the black ring on the diode points to pin 7.
- Now put this adapter between your mac and Your Video-Cable
-
-
- You now got an 20'' multiple Scan Monitor!
- You may switch between all Apple-Resolutions ranging
- from 640*480, 832*624, 1024*768 to 1178*870 Dots
-
- But Be careful not to damage Your Monitor with the high resolutions!

- RELATED NOTES:
- - if your Monitor runs without the apple-software and simply goes dark
- if the apple-m-scan-software is installed your cable adapter needs an
- update because the apple software switches off the sync-signal from
- the green-video. simply buy a new apple to VGA-adapter which supports
- an extra sync line! (all new machines made by apple up from LC-III have no
- sync on green because of energy-star-compatible reasons (????)
- If You use an Monitor with BNC-Connectors You may connect pin 3 with
- the Composite Sync on your monitor (ground to Pin 11) or 14 to H-Sync
- and 12 to V-sync (gournd on 11) instead of buying a new cable!
- Machines with sync on green are Quadra 700, Quadra 900/950 and some
- other.
- - The adapter should also work with the LC475/Performa 475 or newer models
- because this is the same Video as in the Q610
- maybe also in some LCIII and on some 8*24 and 8*24GC Cards
