Assuming this card goes into a standard PCI slot (as opposed to the Ethernet/ USB/FW idea), where are all these connectors supposed to go? I think some cases have problems with 2 DVI connectors as it is. Found some more info: http://www.altinex.com/Products/Accessories/Accessories.htm has a variety of 13W3 to BNC cables. (and, oddly, a 13W3 terminator) They say: Older Sun used composite sync. Newer Sun Ultra and Voyager has different pinout with separate H & V. Cable has a 12 position dip switch. Add IBM Power PC to the 13W3 list. The SGI section has modes for sync-on-green, composite sync, and H&V sync. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
