    GPS LCd > PC

    Hi, Im a REAL noob at this, so ill ask my question quickly.

    What kind of plug is this, and are there adaptors I can purchase to connect it to DVI/VGA or TV-out(s-vid/composite) ?

    All I know is that it supplies power and data. I've done extensive searching and can't find anything like it....I'm assuming it's quite old..?...





    All help apreciated

    Damn, this is the kind of gadgets I like to get my hands on!

    It is perfect for the hobbyist.

    If you are handy with a soldering iron and a multimeter, PM me and I'll give you some tips on how to figure out the inputs/outputs and power connections.

    I fonud out what kind of plug it was last night. Its an old Atari ST monitor plug.
    Heres the ST > VGA converter http://gem.win.co.nz/mb/atarihw/stvga.html

    And I'll need a DVI > VGA to go with it.

    Thank god because I couldn't be worse with a sodering iron.

    Thanks for all the help everyone. Hopefully there is a place in NZ that sells these ST>VGA adaptors.

    I'll post back soon with pics on how it runs.

    It's highly unlikely that LCD has the same pinout as the ST, even if it does use the same connector.
