I've been trying to hook up my 14 RGB Apple Monitor (trinitron tube) to a PC and I've discovered the following. 1> The RGB mac monitor requires some special composite sync signal (too technical for me) 2> The RGB monitor is fixed frequency and requires ~35kHz Horizontal frequency which translates to 640x480 @66.7 Hz Vertical normally. Through Griffin Tech, I was able to get the necessary adapters. Unfortunately, my video card does not provide a means of getting 640x480 @67 Hz and I don't know of any that will (if anyones knows of one please respond). I was able to get it working at 800x600 @56Hz Vertical Freq. However the flickering got to me so I had to abandon this endeavor. Bottom line, if you have an apple multisynch, I think it's just a matter of getting an adaptor, if you have a fixed freq monitor, it's going to be tough. Talk to Griffin Tech. They're quite knowledgeable and helpful. ben
