Hey Ed,

See here:  http://www.ultimarc.com/avgainst.html

The monitor break-out cable doesn't have a plug because many monitors have different pinouts.  If you still have the monitor R/B/G/Sync/Gnd harness, just splice the ends of the labeled vga cable to the harness.  If you don't have the harness, just steal one out of one of those empty cabs (just not one I might buy).   ;)

I don't recall the xformer you mention, but it is probably an iso xformer.  You want to use it on that old W-G, for sure.  Even if your monitor doesn't actually require an iso xformer (like that 25" Pentranic I gave back to you), it doesn't hurt to use one anyway.
