Needless to say that this is almost impossible to get with these crappy VGA connectors that are so `modern' these days. I really wonder why the industry didn't adopt something like the Sun solution when the VGA cards grew up to the dot-clock range of 100 or even 200 MHz. The DB-15 might have been appropriate for 28 MHz, but it can only lose in this respect at the higher frequencies. (No, i don't wonder. It's PeeCee, they always continue the currently used solution, however crappy it might be. See IDE. See ISA ``PnP''.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
