One of our prize sponsors at VCF East was a company called Minds-On Toys (as a play of the
phrase "hands-on") ... The owner, Tim Walker -- if I recall correctly -- went to
MIT and studied all sorts of educational topics. He now sells the Digi-Comp replica. It
is VERY easy to build and teaches kids about binary math.

New subject: Old Supermac video card with a different video connection
Hopefully by saturday I will get a new batch of Apple mac Nubus video cards
in. One of them should be a Supermac Thunder II GX 1600. The card has a
video out that looks like the old SUN type ( 10 small pins and 3 large
ones), anybody know if it is compatible with a SUN to VGA adapter?
Thanks,
TZ

The connector is called "DB13W3". I doubt it'll work with a Sun-
VGA adapter.

I recently got given a decent 21" colour monitor with a DB13W3
connector on it. Never used one of these before.
In the same pile of stuff was a Mac video connector to DB13 cable.
I've tried this on an old Beige G3, and also via an SVGA-Mac convertor
on a PC. It gives a good sharp picture, but on both systems, red and
green were reversed.
Does this mean my cable's incorrectly wired up or doesn't belong to
this monitor, or is that something to do with using a DB13 monitor on
a modern PC?
