I have an NEC 3D monitor, and I just ordered a VGA card for my BridgeBoard. Where could I find the proper switch box to allow me to use my monitor with both my FlickerFixer and the BB/VGA ?

Syl: I have both a C= 2320 card (C= version of Flickerfixer) and a paradise VGA card on the BB side, and I use a fairly cheap 9 pin switchbox between them. What I did was get the switchbox and then 2 cables that go from 15pin VGA to 9 pin NEC style connectors (the C= board uses the 15 pin connector) On your Flickerfixer it has the 9 pin connector on it, so you'd need 1 9pin to 9pin cable, and one 9pin to 15pin. You can get these either from Redmond Cable, or possibly a local cable company or computer store. -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale

Thanks Mike, that's a good idea. The FlickerFixer uses a 15 pin connector, just like the VGA card. Sylvain, Portage, Manitoba
