Can someone tell me the pinout of the cable between the cube and the the monitor. I'm mostly interested in the video signals. Thanks, Dan --------- reading@cs.utah.edu

I'm mostly interested in the video signals. I'm at home, thus don't have the tech docs handy to see if these include what was asked for, but I'll pass on a warning we received when I took the hardware support course. The length of the video cable is critical and it should not be trifled with lightly. The cable is more than simply a connecting length of wire, it is tuned to the frequencies required for that crisp display and altering its length may/probably will degrade your picture image. On the other hand, if you know what you're doing, are careful about buffering and maybe get lucky you'll be okay :-) - peterd
