Sometimes you end up with a cord that just looks wrong ... two ends that shouldn't go together (like the X10 computer module I have --- it has a power "block" that plugs into the wall and provides a phone jack. Then there's a cable that goes phone jack to serial --- that's just wrong.) .... similarly, USB2 to VGA is just wrong: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=1088606&sku=T26-1034&CMP=EMC-TIGEREMAIL&SRCCODE=CANEM268 That all said, is there some standard for USB video and do we plan to support it?
