Notes
Like many Apple monitors, the M0401 uses a DA-15 connector for video. It accepts analog RGB and composite sync. While its fixed horizontal scan rate does limit its usefulness, it can be used on a modern PC with custom 35 kHz resolutions. 760x570 at 60 Hz works quite well, for instance. In this case, a sync combiner such as an Extron RGB unit must be used to convert from H/V to composite sync.
Potentiometers for geometry and convergence adjustments can be found under a removable panel at the back of the monitor.
