It won't sync to a IIgs montior. Its refresh rate is much higher
like 33mhz or 60 mhz. I don't recall exactly. However, the IIgs
refresh rate is like 15.7 mhz or something like that. You need
to get your hands on a multisync monitor or an apple monitor.
You can normally find those cheap at a Thrift store too.

I recently bought a whole Mac IIx for $5 in the original boxes
at a thrift store. I also have a IIci with a cache card, 32 meg
of ram and 150 meg hd.  My personal favorite is my Performa
575 all in one Mac.
