I apologize in advance if this is a naive question.

Are there any special requirements for connecting an AppleColor RGB monitor (A2M6014) to a Macintosh i.e. Powerbook 180c?

A standard Macintosh monitor cable does not seem to work. I tried it on various Macs with no success. Macs won't recognize that the monitor is present.

I tried a PC VGA cable with a Mac converter (set to 12" display) with more success but I get a very jittery quadrupled image. I able to stabilize it somewhat with the horizontal and vertical adjustment buttons but cannot get rid of the quadrupling.

I am reasonably sure that the monitor is ok and that the problem is lack of compatibility between Macs and the 50-60hz monitor.

If anyone knows of a cabling or software solution I would very much appreciate hearing from you

Thanks
