Thanks - I wondered whether that was actually VGA output too. I don't know what
frequencies the Mac II outputs - but I was hoping the box might buffer each
line of video and do something intelligent with it before spitting it out to
the LCD connector, but it doesn't look like it given the chips that are in
there.

Still, I do have a Mac II somewhere so might hang onto it as-is, or failing
that the metal case might come in handy and as interface box for something!

cheers
