One step closer to a Takky

I've really suprised myself today. I got the VGA mod done and this project is going well. It has been over 15 years since I've done any kind of electronic type work and it has gone just great. This from a guy who never, ever got a crystal diode radio to work.

Studio Display Blue & White Settings

Is there a setting on the b&w studio display that disables the mode it goes to when there is no signal. Here is the problem. I am trying to use a KVM switch. When I connect my monitor to the KVM it acts like it doesn't have a signal.

Another Project That Interests Me

In addition to the Classic hack I'd like to do (see my blog for 12/22/04 for details), I'd also like to do another computer modification that involves the Apple Portrait Display.

I picked up one from a local thrift store for a couple of bucks. The shape intrigued me ever since I saw the original advertisement, but with an original price of $1050 or so, I just had to be content in waiting. If you are unfamiliar with this monitor, the specifications can be found at EveryMac.com (http://www.everymac.com/monitors/apple/classic_monitors/specs/apple_mac_portrait.html).
