Can I use a IBM type monitor with my 1994 Macintosh quadra 610?

The pin outs on the monitor tell alot about the quality of the monitor.  If it only has two rows of pins then it is a CGA low quality monitor.  If it has three rows of pins then it is atleast an VGA monitor, better quality.  Almost any monitor will work on the MAC as long as they share the same number of pins.  So here is where it gets tricky.  I am going to guess that the computer has a 3 pin adapter, and the monitor has only 2, so the answer here is to just find a newer monitor.  Howeve if just the opposite is true, then you need to find an older CGA monitor.  In reality if the system only has 2 pins for video it should probably be replaced as it is getting along in the years.  As for finding a CGA to VGA adapter, if you could it would be like a miracle.  This is very old technology.  Most of the older CGA monitors were used for word processors and show little if any color graphics.  eBay is a good place to look for used monitors, but be sure to ask if it works.  I have purchased many that were junk from there, and the shipping is rather high.  If you need a 3 pin monitor, your best bet is to go to someplace like staples, best buy, etc.  They are rather inexpensive now that everyone is switching over to the LCD and flat screen ones.  Hope this helps

Any monitor with a DVI or VGA connector will work.

I not real sure this program will work. It was actually designed for Floppies, but, you can get it and try.\nhttp://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=DSHY-44QSCB\nUnder the Installation Instructions is the Download Click. Copy these instructions for later.

Hello Geof,\n\nAny scanner that is TWAIN compatible will work with the Mac OS X.  You can usually find out if a certain brand of scanner is compatible with Mac OS X, by going to the scanner's manufacturer web site.  It should say right on the package if it is Mac compatible.  If it is, it should have drivers available for the Mac or simply have a compatible TWAIN data source.\n\nApple no longer lists the scanners.\n\n--Rick

There are DVI cables that break out to the individual component digital plugs for both machines.  You might be able to use this to your advantage and just use some extention cables between the two adapters to connect them up.  Do a little research about component plugs for PS2 and DVI.

Unfortunately you can't.\nThe video-outs you have are the only ones you can use, so you are limited to the laptop monitor and one external is you have a VGA or S-video output.

You'll need a digital-to-analog video adapter.  Any electronics store should have them, they're used for computer monitor connections all of the time (I have two at my desk).

Hi there...you need a monitor switch to be able to use both the Mac and PC with one monitor.  \n\nhttp://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatSectionView.process?IWAction=Load&Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=200305&SuperParent=/56"%20target="_blank">Belkin%20SoHo%20KVM%20Pag\nhttp://www.daxten.com/ie/cat5-utp-kvm-switch.html

(Do you mean the MS-6714 - a Microstar International product?)  Presumably you do, and the answer is no.  Sorry.  You'll need a video card with a dedicated TV-out for this purpose.\n\nAm I right in thinking your computer is a branded machine from one of the major vendors (like Hewlett Packard, Dell or Compaq)?\nIf this is the case, the chances are that you don't already have a dedicated video card already in your machine.  But you can pick up a cheap nVidia card with TV-out for under £50 these days.  This will allow you to treat your television as a second monitor and even extend your desktop onto it.

I suspect this isn’t a serious question. If you were to go to the trouble to network a PC with Apple IIe, a computer over 20 years old what could you possible accomplish? They don’t contain a hard drive. If you have data on floppies it isn’t IBM compatible data. I think this guy is pulling our legs. I wish he provided info on why he wants to network them.

yes  depending on the connection you may need a vga/dvi adapter other then that compatibility is not an issue.

No, use the one that comes with the computer.\n\nThe floppy disk is not working here any more

You would need an emulator of some sort.  I have seen references to CherryOS and PearPC that may work.

If the money is not an important factor for that and also you don't need a number one monitor (LCD) go ahead with an IBM Think Pad T Series. It's the perfect choice.\nIf the LCD is an important factor get a one that has a technology in LCD (like as Toshiba and SONY).\nAlso the following specifications are highly recommended in your laptop:\nHDD: (No matter what's the size but) at least 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM\nLCD: 15" (Wide is also a good choice but the wide LCDs has less life than a normal LCD and also cheaper in producing)\nBluetooth: Up to you if you have such devices.\nMouse: TouchPad and TrackPoint both are recommended.\nDisk Drive: Floppy is dead long time ago as you know. But DVD-RAM is not a perfect choice if you don't use. So get a Combo drive (CD-RW, DVD-ROM)\nWLAN: If you don't use no need to take a Centrino.\nCPU: 533Mhz FSB is a good choice, much better than 400Mhz FSB.\nRAM: at least 1 GB. DDR2 is recommended.\nGPU: nVidia, ATI both are good.

yes, you can.  What you need is either a monitor with red, yellow, and white inputs, or a monitor that will have them built in.\n\nGoogle around for a cable that will do it, im not sure that there is one, but I havent looked that hard.

Yes. And here you have some online scaners:\nhttp://askcomputerexpert.ws43.com/download
