Related questions: I'm trying to get a VGA monitor to work with the EtherDock, and the Radius vintage information for the dock, at: <http://www.radiusvintage.com/RadiusQA/EtherDock.html> states: ***** "To connect a display such as an LCD panel to the EtherDock, follow the LCD panel manufacturer's instructions for connecting to a VGA or PC compatible system. Then, in addition, the E-Machines S5 adapter, part number 0008681-0001, must be used to connect the VGA cable from the LCD panel to the Etherdock. The S5 Adapter, part number 0008681-0001, is available by dialing 800-977-7060. After connecting the display, the PowerLink Control Panel must be used to select the proper monitor configuration. Set the display to operate as a VGA, External Sync monitor to have the LCD panel work properly." ***** Now, I don't have an LCD display, but this seems to indicate that the "PowerLink Control Panel" might be helpful in getting the EtherDock to support ANY type of VGA display. So, a couple of questions. 1) Does anyone have the "PowerLink Control Panel", or any EtherDock or E-Machines driver software in general, that they'd be willing to send me? I have the "E-Machines 3.5.6 Control Panel", described above, and it works exactly as well as described above... 2) Anyone have luck connecting a VGA display to the EtherDock? I'm not adverse to soldering, and in fact have been fiddling around with custom cabling and Mac sense codes, trying to get it to work, but haven't had any success so far.
