DISCUSSION


    The Apple PC Compatibility cards come bundled with a three-headed video loop-back cable (part number 922-2216). The cable allows the routing of both the PC video signal and the Macintosh video signal to a single monitor.

    Listed below are the pinouts for the 26-pin video connector and the 15-pin connector on the card, and the pinouts for the three-headed video loop-back cable:
