There are some VGA-->BNC cables on ebay, I got one last week for 6. You could cut the vga connector off and solder to a 3w3 plug. You should be able to get one through RS or Farnell cheaply The issue is thus: I(t's a DEC cable with a moulded 3w3 plug and the cable has pulled at the 3w3 end, I suspect the wire has snapped inside the 3w3 plug. I'm getting another cable to prove the VAX is okay first and when I have that working I'll do some surgery on my existing one. I'de make one up using existing stuff I have if I had any idea where to get 3w3 plugs from, they seem to be like rocking horse doo-doo. -- Mark Benson http://DECtec.info Twitter: @DECtecInfo HECnet: STAR69::MARK Online Resource & Mailing List for DEC Enthusiasts.
