Thanks for the pointer.... I managed to find one in a box of cables at the
computer wreckers, but I have no idea if it works. I doubt if it would show up
without using a graphics console... BTW, I also picked up a few monitor
cables; one appears to be for a monochrome monitor (1 BNC connection on the
far end ), another RGB....

Now to watch for a monitor....

Thanks!!
