I'd assume its sort of multisync, but the touch screen is a db9 for sure.  
There are adapters, maybe even an adapter cable for sale.  If I don't hear 
from Roy, I'll probably check the shack tomorrow. 

I need to make a mount for it as there is not a rear box, looks like the 
rear is just shielded, and it has a couple of threaded hole, about 8-32"s 
I think on each end of a heavy brace across the back.  I could make a box 
4" deep, or even just drill a piece of alu angle that would reach from the 
shelf up to the top but haven't pulled out a tape measure yet.  It works, 
fussing about no video for about 30 secs and shuts down till the next time 
its plugged in, so I believe it to be working.

I think I found the touch screens pinouts on the Elo site.  Specs say 9600 
baud 8n1 or something like that, so its fairly std in the regard.  It has 
about a 2 foot long 10 wire ribbon cable, terminated in a 12 pin dual row 
header with one missing pin to serve as a keyway.

But first get it mounted...  And before that, check the lcd's supply caps, 
I think it could be brighter.  Common problem for lcd stuff.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
