# Mac DB15 to VGA

This is a classic Macintosh DB15 video out to VGA adapter. It's uses the same dip switch settings as the Sony MacView and Unimac 82D.

Dip Switch Settings](docs/manuals)



The newest versions of the adapter, v1.2, come in 3 flavors now. 

**TH** is all through-hole components like v1.0.
**MX** has SMD diodes. The rest are through-hole components.
**SM** has SMD diodes and DIP switches. The rest are through-hole components.
