I googled the card to look at the connections on the back.
(http://www.mediaforge.co.uk/mt/archives/matrox.jpg) There is a
firewire connection and a eighth-inch mini plug for audio. But, there's
also a plug that looks like it might be a DB-15 or a VGA connection on
the card. Is that for the breakout cable, or is it a video out connection?
