I have a Sony CPD-1310 monitor that I'm using with both my GS and an
el-cheapo MS-Dos clone [I need it for fiber net access, ok?].  The monitor,
which I highly recommend as an alternative to Apple's, works like a champ
with both analog and digital modes.

The problem I'm having is that there is just one plug on the monitor, and
it's an odd eight-pin connector (2 across, 4 down with a gap between the
first and second pins going down).  I'd like to buy or make a switch for
them, but have never heard of such a beast pre-made.  I think Radio Shack
sells the connectors, but short of having 8 little two-way switches, I
can't think of a good way to switch them.

Any EE's (or others :) out there have any good ideas?  Also, if anyone
thinks of another newsgroup that might be of help, let me know -- I looked
for a comp.sys.switches but was disappointed. :)
