Cards and cables for old macs, are a couple of my main packrat categories.
I have most of the special cables for Radius and Apple monitors, some
SuperMac cables, and most of the Radius, Apple, SuperMac, and RasterOps
video cards either used, or some new in the original sealed boxes.

Many of the early devices though are FUSSY, specifically you often have to
have the EXACT cable that matches your monitor. Sometimes you have to have
the matching card as well, but often the newer Apple/Radius/etc cards would
support older monitors if the proper cable is used (those darn monitor
sense lines). With few exceptions all of the older video cards that do
anything interesting break by OS 7.5 or 7.6, the control panels fail even
earlier in many cases.

A handfull of different Pivots were made, and without all the info on the
back I can't really say if I have a cable that will work. Email me directly
with the info and I will see if I have what you need, and give you an idea
on which cards and/or builtin video will work. If you really want the pivot
function in real time, I do have both LC PDS and Nubus Radius Pivot cards,
but the control panels only work well with something like OS 7.1 or so.
