I tried a Google search for "87TXM manual" (without the quotes) and it was within the first 5 or 6 search results. >>> 2. This Mac serial port in the back, what is it for? >> >> http://support.necmitsubishi.com/mitsubishi/common_mit/diamondcontrol.html >> > > This is even funnier. The windows software shows that it is connected to the > monitor via COM1. But there are no PC serial port connectors (DB9) in the > back for the monitor!! PC and Mac serial ports are pretty much the same in their function, they just use different shaped connectors. Many modems and other serial devices can be used on a PC or a Mac, just by switching the cable. Maybe they used a Mac-shaped serial port on the back of your monitor instead of a DB-9 because some old computers used DB-9 connectors for video cables, and the didn't want you thinking the serial port was a video connector. > Does it mean that I need a cable (DB9 male to DIN-8P male) to control the > monitor via software in Windows?? Do such cables exist?? Mitsubishi must have sold them at one point, to go with the software. I'm not sure where you'd find one though. Mostly it looks like the software/cable combo just duplicates the features that you can do with the normal built in controls for the monitor. So unless you need very precise color accuracy kind of stuff, you really don't need the cable. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
