I know this is a pretty obscure one, but I just thought I'd mention it, in
case anyone is buying WP51D's with dual monitors:
The Sony monitors supplied with a dual monitor installation on WP51D's come
with RGB type connectors. These RBG connectors have 5 plugs: Red, Green,
Blue, Horizontal Sync, and Vertical Sync. The standard monitor cable
supplied by Foxboro (P0971FB) has 4 connectors: Red, Green Blue, and Sync.
In order to make this work, you need to have a Composite Sync Video Adapter
(P0971DZ). You put this between the video card and the adapter cable
(P0971WG) which connects to P0971FB. Apparently, the Composite Sync Video
Adapter does not ordinarily get shipped with the dual monitor installation,
so you'll need to special order it.
Here is a crude description of the assembly, starting at the card going
toward the monitor:
2nd Video Card (15 pin VGA connector) --- Composite Sync Video Adapter (15
pin VGA connector on both ends) --- P0971WG cable (15 pin on one end, 24
pin on other end) --- P0971FB cable (24 pin on one end, RGB-sync on other
end) --- Monitor Cable (RGBHV on one end, 15 pin VGA on other end) ---
Monitor (15 pin VGA)
The documentation on the web site for this installation, B0400PT, is only at
Rev A. Rev D is shipped as a hard copy with the hardware. Rev. D explains
this cabling arrangement in great detail, but since this revision is not on
the web site, you might overlook the piece of paper lying at the bottom of
the box, as I did for 2 days. I hope you can avoid the same fate.
