Well, that's most likely the Kodak or Sayett-type projection pad referred to in my previous post. You need a Plus or SE which has this DIN-8 connector on the outside, and the video-pass-through card installed inside it. Unless you can find such a pass-through card, you're out of luck. Go back to where you purchased this pad and try to find a Plus or SE with the Din-8 female external connector. If it's a Plus, the connector will be in the battery compartment; if it's an SE, it will be in the middle of a bare metal bar in the expansion port opening. I was lucky enough to buy an SE/30 first which had the connector, then later find the panel for it.
It's OK that your projection cable has only eight pins in the DB-9 connector. The panel only needs eight wires connected through, which is why the other end is a DIN-8. :) >Hello!
