Duo Dock and LCD display

[JosephC22 at aol.com]

Yes. Assuming that your LCD display has a VGA connector, the easiest way 
to do it is to get a Macintosh-to-VGA adapter (HDDB15 Female to DB15 Male 
Moniter Adapter). They usually cost between US$10-20. The best ones have 
DIP switches which allow you to set a particular frequency and 
resolution. For example, http://www.mycableshop.com/sku/AM-VGA-UN.htm 
(the link is for illustration purposes only -- I haven't purchased 
anything from that vendor -- it's just the first link I came across with 
a picture ;-) If you can't find a convenient source, a local "hobbyist" 
PC/electonics store might be able to make an adapter for you.

Be advised that there were three different models of the Duo Dock, and 
they have different display characteristics. Be sure that your LCD 
supports at least one of these resolutions:

The original Duo Dock (no built-in ethernet connector) will support the 
following resolutions at either 256 colors per pixel (8 bit video) or 
thousands of colors per pixel (16 bit video), depending on whether the 
Dock has 512k or 1 MB of VRAM installed:
512 x 384 , 640 x 480 , 800 x 600 , 832 x 624

The "Duo Dock Plus" and the "Duo Dock II" both support the following at 
thousands of colors per pixel (16 bit video):
512 x 384 , 640 x 480 , 800 x 600 , 832 x 624
and, additionally, the following resolutions at 256 colors per pixel:
1024 x 768 , 1152 x 870
