Actually, no, it won't work with a Mac, even though the connector type
is the same. This is an AppleColor 100 (for a IIe), which is digital
RGB, not the analog type that Macintoshes (and VGA displays) expect.
The IIgs RGB monitor also uses a 15-pin connector, but it's not
compatible with either the IIe or the Mac monitors.
