Comment: It's a Mac 15 pin to PC 15 pin VGA adapter
with 10 little dip-switches (on/off) and I
can't remember how to set them for 832x624 or 1024x768 or ANYTHING that will work..It's
a small,unpowered gray adapter with Mac15pin(male) to PC15pin(female) configuration...It's a Quadra 650 w/512k of onboard VRAM, 16/230/CD and 68040 cpu, running OS 7.6 and multisync type analog PC VGA monitor...HELP!!!! any ideas?
Thanks,Beemer...

Reply: (edit)If all else fails you can buy a cheap mac to VGA plug converter without all those fancy switches for around 5$ at most PC or Mac stores.

Reply: (edit)Yeah, just grab a new one. The dip switch settings aren't standard, so unless you know who made your particular adapter you'll just be shooting in the dark.
