What is the top card edge connector on VGA cards for exactly?
I've seen reference to it as the VGA Feature connecter and
the VGA Passthrough connecter.
Can I use it to add some experimental circuits to my VGA cards?
I've noticed that some graphics coprocessor cards don't have
an output for the monitor but a connection for the
Passthrough connector.
Where can I get a description and specifications for this
connector?

Someone once told me that the top card edge connector could be used for such popular peripherals as light-pens. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Neal Miller | "Why not go mad?" | millernw@clutx.clarkson.edu Clarkson University | - Ford Prefect | millernw@clutx.bitnet ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
