- As far as I know Jeff, the AppleColor 13" RGB Display CANNOT do VGA. Apple
- has changed naming on its new monitors to help depict this by calling them:
- "Macintosh 14" Color Display" or "Macintosh 16" Color Display" or
- "Macintosh 21" Color Display".....MACINTOSH MACINTOSH....for use only on
- the Macintosh. I believe that the Performa monitors (though crappy they may
- be) will work with VGA, I could be wrong though. Happy hunting! :-)
