Al:
I had this issue on a Cubix 486-based SBC that I'm using for a
firewall. I wound-up ordering the breakout cable from Cubix for $35. It is a
small PCB on an ISA bracket and it has a video connector, mouse, and
keyboard connector. It appears that there are coils or something on the
board, probably for noise rejection and the like. Cubix was fairly helpful,
giving me the part number to use when I called the parts line to order it.

Subject: Cubix System... Anyone know the pinout of the
Video/Keyboard/Mous e Connector?
Hi Guys!
I just came across a Cubix ERS FTII System... I realize that this
may not fit
under the "10-year" rule, but it is a rather unique system, and I'd
like to try
to get it going (possibly with NetBSD or Linux). The Cubix site has
most if the
Info I need, but apparently this system used a single DB25
connector/cable to
route the video, keyboard and mouse signals to a small breakout box
(which I
don't have, and the Cubix site doesn't document) Does anyone happen
to
know what the pinout of that connector is?
Also, if anyone has any experience with setting linux up on this
critter, I'd
love to know about it. The current configuration of the box is:
3 BC5055 60 Mhz Pentium processors
1 BC3035 (486?)
-Thanks in advance...
