Last night, as I was walking in the street, I found a radius precisioncolor display 20/v. It was abandoned by its owner for X reason. Anyway, I brought it home because the screen is HUGE!!! Later I read on the net that it was a monitor from 1995.
My question: how to plug this monitor to my radeon ve? The cable from the monitor (which is not detachable)has a weird connection, 15 pins but very wide, much wider than my vga port or dvi port on the radeon ve...
And another question: do you know this monitor? Is it worth using it?
Thank you for your input.
 
I used Google to perform a serach on Radius monitor and found that what you have is probably for a McIntosh PC.
Some sort of adapter 'may' exist to allow you to connect to s standard (IBM compatible) PC, but I am unaware of such. Perhaps someone else can help you there.
 
Yes we use these adapters on our large and achient 20 inch monitors at work! they go from what looks like a bigger VGA down to the standard VGA we all know.
Most likely place to get one is a Mac dealer as the display output on all the latest machines is the same a PC's so there would be a demand from mac users with the newer connections on later models. Martin Vote if you found this post helpful please!!
 
Thank you; but do you think it is a good computer? Is it worth buying?
