Does anyone make EGA extension cables? The cable for my NEC Multisync II is so short that the monitor has to be fairly close to the processor. I've looked through various computer supply catalogs and have never seen any for sale. Does anyone know if they are available, from whom and the price? Thanks in advance!

Price is not known, but Inacomp Computer centers can get them for you. When
I was at Nicolet, we bought quite a few to set up a multi-monitor operation.

A cheap and dirty solution: Get a Radio Shack "Joystick Extension Cable" for about 5 bucks. It works for EGA but isn't shielded. "Koukinaries" _____ | | Johnathan Vail | tegra!N1DXG@ulowell.edu |Tegra| (508) 663-7435 | N1DXG@145.110-,145.270-,444.2+,448.625- -----

I don't remember the price, but it was cheap compared to what I had seen elsewhere. CompuAdd sells a lot of accessories, but their big ads in PC magazine only show their major end items (computers, printers, etc). Bruce Carlson

The longer the cable, the greater the potential for fuzzier screens.
