Title: VGA Hacked cable to WG 7400...help please
Post by: spara on September 17, 2004, 02:51:27 pm
I have a WG7400 25" monitor. I just got in my ArcadeVGA and Ultimarc VGA hacked cable. I am looking for suggestions to hook the cable to the monitor.

My monitor has a 9 pin header on it similar to this pic:

I figure I can either find a connector and wire it up similar to this pic:

Or I can solder the bare wires to the header pins on the monitor, or I can add a plug like this to the end of the cable:

Any suggestions as to what would work best?

And any place that has the connectors and pins as well as the wiring to match this up?

Didn't realize you had to come up with your own hack to get this attached to the monitor. LOL....thanks.

Bob Roberts website has this:

A video sync harness. I should be able to wire this to the end of my VGA cable with the bare wires?

If so, I will get one on order and try it out.

Ok, talked to Andy at Ultimarc and he says the above cable from Bob Roberts is what I need to make it work.

Started and ended a thread all by myself...wow.   ;D

Oh well, maybe this will help someone else out.
