Dom, If you have the 1950 you already have the CBM 23 – 15 pin buffered converter. Then you need a standard VGA monitor cable to a swithbox from the CBM converter. Same cable to the box from FF. Then 1950 to the box. Radio chack has sheilded coax cable 15 pin male to 15 pin female 6 foot cables that work great (about $19.00 each). The switch box was part number LCS 3617, AB High density 15 pin monitor switchbox from Lyben Computer Systems 313-649-4500 at $19.95. Redmond Cables are not burffered – they may be shielded but not buffered. To be buffered requires some electronics in the connector (peak in your CBM connector – you'll see what I mean). If you are not using well sheilded cables throughout, you'll have degenerated displays (like lots of shadows, ghosting etc.) Alos not that the cables can only go one direction. If you plug the cables in wrong-end-to, all you'll get is a green monochrome display. BTW, with the above set-up you'll need 15 pin female to femal adaptors as the female ends of the radio shack cables want to mate with the female HD15 plugs on the switchbox. wmc
