[parisc-linux] Need EVC-VGA adapter

[Markus Grabert]

Hi,

I recently purchased a C240.

Unfortunately no EVC-VGA adapter was in the package.
I thought it is quite easy to get these (since EVC is
the new VESA standard), but I just found a few Internet
companies who sell them. The adapter itself is rather expensive,
usually about 50 EURO.

If somebody has such an adapter or adapter cable and if
he/she is willing to sell it for less than 50 EURO
(including shipping costs to Ireland), please let me know

TIA, max

another solution would be to get another graphics card for the C240
which has a standart vga port.

try www.kindermann.de,
they're offering conference utilities such as video projectors etc.
Since some new projectors use a EVC interface, they used to sell
an adapter cable (I didn't find it on their website anymore).

Try searching for EVCM-15HDF (that's the name of the EVC-VGA adapter);
I found at least an US seller (http://www.networktechinc.com/cgi-bin/keemux/adapters.html)
who sells it for $46 (US & Canada only)

There is also a seller in the UK (http://www.nti1.co.uk/cable-usb.html or
http://www.itm-components.com/cable.htm (same company)), who sells it for
35 UK Pound, but there is a minimum shipping cost of 40 UK Pounds!
The seller said that he's happy to send it by mail (so that you can avoid
the high shipping costs), however you'll take the risk then.
