I simply cut my Atari cable and soldered in a pair of DB-15's. They're really easy to find. When I got tired of switching monitors by changing DB-15 plugs, I built a switch using a 7-pole rotary, and some MORE DB-15's. The one I found in a surplus store for $US 3.95 had 5 positions, but I only used two. > Lars-Erik / ABK-BBS +47 2132659 / ____ ______ ________________________ > Osterud / larserio@ifi.uio.no / /___ / The norwegian ST >__________/ ______________________/ ____/ / Klubben, user association -- vsnyder@jato.Jpl.Nasa.Gov ames!elroy!jato!vsnyder vsnyder@jato.uucp
