I recently got a 040 Cube and I'd like to use my LCD I had previously used with my nextstation turbo, this worked well using a Y cable, but as you could have guessed I then had no keyboard or mouse being adb and my cube being non-adb.
Rob thankfully gave me a good bit of information on the steps involved in getting one of his DIY kits up and running with my cube. I don't feel comfortable doing the solder work, but would be more then happy to pay someone a little bit for their time to do it.
Just curious if anyone is interested doing a board for me? Itching to really use my Cube with my LCD monitor over my dying next monitor.
I've got tons of extra SGI hardware (Indy through Tezro) if a trade is more favorable.
Do you have the proper power supply? Part 982.
I have part 152
OK, you will also need a load on the power supply to use an LCD. If you don't find anyone to do the conversion for you, I have an already converted sound box with non-adb, VGA, new caps, and a load board I'd let go for $200. If you haven't already seen it, here is my site on how to do the conversion:
