Why not simply pull down DVI to VGA with a 50 cent part, and then sample the VGA as necessary?

The technician I talked with last night told me he doesn't know if the DVI standard has ever been defined and written down anywhere yet too. Probability for now is we can't yet get there from here yet. It may be possible to do the necessary signal transforms using a small microprocessor on the cable though provided one could be correctly programmed though. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
