Get a NIC with AUI/BNC/RJ45 ports and a PDS passthrough then plug the videocard into the NIC. Replace the AUI plug on the NIC's backplate with the monitor plug. Of course this is easiest if the NIC's ports are individually mounted to the backplate. ;) Otherwise, get a NIC with only RJ45 or BNC and RJ45 then cut a hole in the backplate for the monitor connector. You'll need a drill and a tool like a Dremel with some small grindstones to shape the hole. Whatever you do, clearly lable the monitor plug! You don't want anyone plugging an AUI adaptor into a monitor port. *Mumbles something unprintable about IBM choosing the same connector for their joysticks and Apple choosing the same connector for their monitors when it was already being used for AUI on other systems.* P.S. NEVER plug a Mac monitor into a PC's joystick port, unless you want to fry things. ===== "You never have to repair or replace what you leave out of the design."
