Well I finally got around to making up the cable that goes from my VR241 to the new //GS... Since I don't have my //GS yet (this Week) I tried at my dealer and it WORKED FINE!!!!! So for anyone out there that has a VR241 or ANALOG RGB you can save yourself $490.... Enjoy.. /Joe

Joe, I have built a cable for the Sony KV 1311 (I think that is the correct model number, anyway its the one that has digital and analog RGB, a TV tuner and speaker). The Sony pinout in the users manual has several selects on the cable that are driven by 2.7-5 volts, I presume that these are TTL levels. The //gs port has a -5 v pin. Question: Can I connect the Sony pins to the -5v or will it require a +5 v line? If it requires +5, the //gs port only has +12v so how can I connect it? Reduce the +12 to + 5v with resistors? I realize that you may not be familiar with this type of monitor but I thought that this would be a good place to pose this question to those who may be able to help. Thanks.
