Anyone know where they could be gotten? Those were also used on old VAXstations (MicroVAX II and 3100 series). You may have a separate mouse/keyboard connector too, which would make the problem easier (the 3100s had). There are also RGB versions you can use (use only the green connector for a B/W screen).I think I can find a couple of those cables here, but we're abit too far apart for it to be practical. Anyhow, look aroung old VAXstations. > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- > Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data > chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. > 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | > Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD > (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- > > Nadav
