Have a 4 dip switch Mac to VGA adapter- The only markings I see are J.H.I.
And the Off / ON markings for the 4 DIP switches.
Can't find the "cheat sheet".
/sad

Anyone had a place for this "cheat sheet" FAQ web site or information?

Google was not very helpful

Guess not. OTOH, there are only 16 possible combinations - how long can it take to test them all?

Do some Intarweb net searching for info. Since Macs have had VGA ports on them since 1999, they are fewer and far between.

Considering how many gazillion different companies made those adapters, it's basically impossible to guess.

Did you check the underside of the adapter? Many of them had the key printed on the bottom.
