Um, I just tried it, and, while you could plug it directly to the back of the K3, your RS-232 connector is now blocked. In addition, both the K3 and the breakout box have the threaded standoffs that are meant for the cable holding bolt to go in. You would have to take those off the

Be careful when buying a VGA extender cable and expecting it to work for the ACC connector on the K3. Every extender cable I have checked here lacks one of the required wires (pin 9 is not connected in the cable) . Has anyone found a VGA extender cable that has ALL pins connected? If so, I'd

Has anyone found an alternative to just buying an HD15 male solder-cup or crimp connector and making up your own cable? I've been unable to find a pre-made cable that has all 15 wires and pins. Or maybe I am missing something? There's not much info in the archives. I have a physical handicap

I had a video monitor cable that had all 15 pins wired up. Unfortunately one of them was also connected to the shell and grounded that line when connected normally. I was able to open the end cover and break that connection to the shell. REALLY simplifies the interconnection hassle to have
