[chilibowl]

 hello Tech survivors , just joined your page last 2 weeks ago.  
here is aquestion that Iam SURE that all you APPLE  Devotees will get thier Undershorts all wrinklled up @t.  

Ihave a MULTISCAN 17" Monitor Model # M4552      

I am trying to use / set it up to my PC<gasp!>

Ido have the Correct cable /adaptor for this a Captive DB-15 from Monitor  to HDb-15vga .


My video card is a MATROX  Millenium 2MB (on my first PC )
My Video card isa CIrrus Logic 5436 (2mB) on my second PC -same Model as 1st one).


Can WIN 98  set this Monitor up as Recognized   and has anyone here also used it for LINuX ??


Thankx ,Chilibowl

Hi chilibowl. I have a couple PCs also. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Is this an Apple Monitor?

Check out what Drivers are available for Monitors on the PC.

They'll probably be some Apple ones.

 Yes this is IS an APPLE MONITOR , and it is MULTI-SCAN .

Iam wondering if anyone else here has done this PROCESS of using  APPPLE MULTISCAN-17"  to pc  and had good results or just mediocre  or rotten  

My PROVIEW MONITOR (pv-850d) 14" incher lost its Color  correction n and focus  recently  so I decided to go with  a NAME "brand" monitor  APPLE (actually made by GOLDSTAR ELECTRONICS )_
Thankx for the reply Kelly.

chilibowll. I've had mac Monitors hooked up to PCs before.

What OS are you using?

You'll just need to choose the Right Drivers for it.

There are Apple Monitor Drivers included with at least Windows 98 and later.

It should ask you for them after you hook it up and Start Up.
