I quit looking about 4-5 years ago - as of then, D-K and mouser didn't 
stock 'em. (Obviously, mini-DIN won't work... ;-) )

And yes, at least in the catalog, they seem like the right critters...

Same with the (and Tony's gonna blast me, but I don't know the correct 
nomenclature) DB-19 (is it a DF-19 maybe?) that the Falcons used for their 
video out...

And the Atari ST video port... and the DMA port... ;-) which it seems 
either they don't carry, or their search function can't find 'em. Oh well, 
I guess you can't win 'em all...

Laterz,
