> Chris , I'm sorry, you're totally wrong. The 26 pin connector is for an
>Apple Audio Vision monitor. No F--king Dongle.
I said a number of times, I have NOT used the DOS card that works with
the 630/6100... and that is the card in question.
But I CAN tell you that EVERY OTHER dos card Apple made, needs a video
dongle... and they ALL connect via a DB-26 connector on the back of the
DOS card... which is exactly what the person described on the back of
their DOS card.
Now, it is quite possible that Apple put an AppleVision port on the
630/6100 DOS card, why, I would have NO idea, since the 630 can't use an
applevision monitor... but maybe they did.
HOWEVER, on the back of the 6100... is an HDI-45 video port... THAT is an
AppleVision video port. That is NOT the same thing as the DB-26 on the
DOS cards. Totally different port, totally different function.
BUT... I have heard that you do not need a video dongle with the 630/6100
DOS card... I just can't confirm it one way or the other... and again,
since they are describing EXACTLY what will happen to a Quadra 610
Houdini DOS card if the dongle is not connected... I felt it was a good
guess that they might in fact need one.
Now I am REALLY going to have to get 630/6100 DOS card... just so I can
figure out once and for all if it needs a video dongle (or do you prefer
the term... video loopback connector)
