   Why do audio people get all the fun cables? Where's my "High Quality Coaxial Gold Plated Oxygen-Free Nylon Braided" MDA Cable?!

     @TechTangents I'd actually like to see that for VGA cables. I've used so many ones that are just so shitty

     @TechTangents I don't think I've seen a card with outputs, but it's just for space reasons. They tend to use some other adapter (like vga) and a breakout cable

     @foone I've got some computer monitors with BNC inputs, I wonder if there was ever a VGA card with outputs?

     Sounds like it's time for a clone Voodoo 2 card with BNC!

     @ZiggyTheHamster @TechTangents very cool, I'd love to see one of those systems!

     Also I think I may have some of those laserdiscs. I got a big pile of Ford laserdiscs somewhere

     @TechTangents @foone at my first job - at a university - we had a PS/2 that hooked up to a Laserdisc player and was controlled by software that Ford developed to overlay text and video for training purposes. The text mode was MCGA IIRC but it connected to the monitor with BNC. The Laserdisc player was also special - it connected with a D-Sub connector, and the D-Sub and BNC cables terminated in a larger than DB-25 D-Sub that plugged into the card.
