i have a 4 bit video card in my cx, and i tried one of those cable adaptors
that allows a mac to use a vga monitor. the best i could get was a rolling
screen that was green to due to the sync on green signal not connected right.
i do have a ci that uses an adaptor and successfully worked with a nec
multisync display. only thing i can suggest is get one of those video cable
connectors for macs with all the dip switches, and a multisync monitor and
try various combinations to see if it works.
