Connecting a single monitor to a Power Macintosh 7200 using a
video card or to a Power Macintosh 7500, 7600, 8500, or 9500

To connect a monitor, you use the loopback cable that came with your PC
Compatibility Card.

IMPORTANT

A previous product, the DOS Compatibility Card, came with a

different loopback cable that has four connectors on it instead of three. That
cable does not work with your PC Compatibility Card.

To connect a monitor, you plug the loopback cable into your monitor, your
computer’s built-in monitor port (or video card port), and the port on the
PC Compatibility Card.

This connector
(“middle connector”)
attaches to the
PC Compatibility Card.

This connector (“long connector”)
attaches to either your computer’s built-in
monitor port or video card. It is left
disconnected if you are using two monitors.

This connector (“short connector”)
attaches to your monitor cable.
