Hi Jon,

Looking at the website I notice that besides plugging into the computer's
video output, their video controller also has a cable to plug into the
printer port.  Any idea what the function of this connection is?  (just
following up on the original question of whether one could adapt this
system for Mac use.  Macs can output VGA with an appropriate adaptor, but
it sounds like some additional signal is required...).
