Cheapest, easiest way to get video out on my duodock (with a 270c loaded inside)

What is Cheapest, easiest way to get video out on my duodock (with a 270c loaded inside)?

If avoidable I don’t want to try to buy and ship a big apple monitor with the DA-15 as I am just trying to determine the operating condition of my duodock to get it ready for sale.

Is there some sort of adapter that I can use to get from DA-15 video out to say a flatscreen vga pc monitor? Would that even work? Is 68k apple video proprietary and not pc monitor friendly?

da15 to vga adapter. get one with two rows of dip switches.

generally referred to as a mac db15 to vga adapter


i like the Unimac 82D and the viewsonic adapter although that has one row of dip switches...

I have a ton of these and all, except one, have only one row of DIP switches. The other one has none. The only reason I mention it is because you’ll probably be just fine if you only come across one with one row. I’ve got a IIsi, LC III, 6300/120, and 8500 all connected to a single Sony Trinitron monitor through a VGA switch using these.
