I have an interesting problem.  I am attempting to install DOS on a Micronics
4X Xterminal.  In order to do this, I have to install a hard drive, floppy
drive and a video card.  I have a Diamond Speedstar 24x video card.  The 
Micronics manual says that I need a VGA pass-thru cable to connect the card
to the Micronics built in card via the VGA feature connector.  It is a 26
pin ribbon cable.  My question is where can I find such a cable?  Or, 
does anyone know the pinouts for the Xterminal?  I have the pinouts for the
Speedstar and it says it conforms to the VESA standard.  Help! I am desperate,
I have called Micronics three times in the last few days and have gotten an
answering machine each time and they have yet to return my call.   In fact,
they have never answered ANY of the calls I have made in the last 2 weeks!!!


Any help would be GREATLY appreciated,


Phil Smith
