I got a mac powerbook duo 210 passive matrix lcd (16 grays, 640x480) that i want to connect to my pc.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Has anyone done it before? I would really need some help in doing this.

I thougt i would mount it on the case.....would look kind of neat i think.

I will send in some pix later (my CF reader is not working like it should)

all i realy know is the old macs could use a PC monitor with jsut an adapter that moved the pins around, i dont' c why you could find out what all the wires did on the lap top screen off a web site and put in the proper order and make a VGA or RCA cable out of it

it should be that hard i think you can just buy an adaptor for that. this was in the moddin section so i thought you wanted to try something difficuly

Hmm....think i have to rethink about that lcd.
I have looked around on the internet and i seems i will need a special controller.
But even with this controller it will be hard to get it to work, and i guess they cost alot more tha i can afford.

Maybe i buy a little lcd instead and hook it up to the printer port.
