- Good choice. I have those on about a dozen Amigas I work with.

- Try Redmond Cable. People seem to like them. See the ads in Amiga
- magazines. I have an old number for them:

- The connection is pretty straight forwards if you have the pinouts for
- both ends. Connect R,G,B,Hsync,Vsync, and ground. I think you want:
-
- Amiga NEC 3D
- 3 1
- 4 2
- 5 3
- 11 4
- 12 5
- 20 9
-
- Use a fairly short shielded cable, and ground the shield to the
- connector. If you can't find a DB23, hack the end off a DB25.
-
- Fair warning, I'm a s/w guy, and a pretty high level one at that. :-)
