- What kind of Mac? What kind of video card? If you have built-in video (LC, LCII,SI,etc.)
- then Black Box, among others, has the cable. If, like me, you use a Micron Xceed
- 30 card on an SE/30, you'll have to custom build your cable based on the pinout diagrams
- in the monitor and card manuals. If you are the latter case, email me and I'll send
- you the cable diagram that worked for me.
