- I have an interesting problem. I am attempting to install DOS on a Micronics
- 4X Xterminal. In order to do this, I have to install a hard drive, floppy
- drive and a video card. I have a Diamond Speedstar 24x video card. The
- Micronics manual says that I need a VGA pass-thru cable to connect the card
- to the Micronics built in card via the VGA feature connector. It is a 26
- pin ribbon cable. My question is where can I find such a cable? Or,
- does anyone know the pinouts for the Xterminal? I have the pinouts for the
- Speedstar and it says it conforms to the VESA standard. Help! I am desperate,
- I have called Micronics three times in the last few days and have gotten an
- answering machine each time and they have yet to return my call. In fact,
- they have never answered ANY of the calls I have made in the last 2 weeks!!!
