I have an Apple High Resolution Monochrome Monitor, which has a DB15 connector. It powers on, but I have nothing with which to connect and test it. (For context, these came with a non-working IIsi, just to give you an idea of the era.) With that, I've found three cables, which may or may not have anything to do with it:
Two with a 15-pin male connectors to a smaller 15-pin male connector, that's about 3/4-inch wide;
One with a 15-pin male connector with several pins missing to a small 9-pin female connector. (This is missing pins 1 and 3-8 on the top row.)
My first thought was that the second cable might be associated with the Display -- several pins for that are not used, but it doesn't match the diagram in the manual.
One of the two says "Radius" on the ferrite core, so I think I can safely assume this went with another Display. (Not sure what else it might be used for, though.)
Any information would be appreciated! | Posted by: Phipli on 2022-07-31 13:03:52
Can you grab some photos? Of the pins and of the two housings. Apple cables have a part number moulded in them. | Posted by: RedJacketPress on 2022-07-31 13:17:37
No identifiable markings, apart from the one that's marked "Radius." (There is information printed on the cables, or course, if that becomes of any use.) | Posted by: Phipli on 2022-07-31 13:25:21
590-0029 is a part number.
