The transverters cannot be directly connected to the K3 like they can
on the K2. There are signals in the K3 ACC connector that can be used
if you want to be creative, but without that, the K3 can be connected

Hi Dick,
I very strongly suggest that you use GetDefaultCommConfig whenever it is

Didn't someone previously mention the idea of obtaining a VGA cable and

Also, bear in mind that some cables that are billed as VGA monitor cables
actually only use 13 pins, not all 15. In fact, they have Pin 9 missing,
