[comp.graphics] How to connect NEC to VGA?

pcb@cacs.usl.edu (Peter C. Bahrs) (12/15/90)

I have an old(er) NEC Multisync monitor that I got with my ega card
2.5 years ago.  It will go to 800x600 or so resolution. 

Is there an adapter or something that I can change the ends of the NEC
video card cable so that it will connect to a VGA video card?

The adapter is part GENDER-VGA ($4.95) available from JDR Microdevices
(800-538-5000). Remember to reset the monitor to take analog input when
connecting to the VGA board.
