thanks
Thank you very much for the info.
Since it does not appear to be a fairly "standard" power supply, I will stay away from the panel.
Thanks again!

Reading CableWizard VGA-IEEE1284 Pinout
Hi folks. I'm just writing to update anyone interested in my efforts to read the VGA pinout from the Infocus CableWizard 1.
In a nutshell:
1. I cannot get a straight pin-to-pin configuration using the battery/buzzer method described earlier by remp. I am certain I am doing it right... I expect there is some circuitry inside the CW that prevents the pinout from being read, at least via this method.
2. Other methods to read the pinout - like using a multimeter to measure resistance at very low current (lower than my 9V battery), or using a video signal analyzer on the CW's output while the CW is actually connected to a working input device - may or may not be successful.
3. According to 2 different Infocus tech support reps, the CableWizard 2 Lite, which is still available and only $36 from Provantage at http://www.provantage.com/fp_35274.htm, is compatible with the PowerView 820. I will be ordering one of these for myself pronto, and I'll post the results.
4. I have also more or less confirmed that the CW main panel connector (v.1 at least) is a standard IEEE1284-C "mini-Centronics" 36-pin connector - the same type of connector you can find on some printer cables.

CableWizard 2 Lite
I received my CW 2 Lite from Provantage today... and I can personally verify that it works with the Infocus PowerView 820. I will also mention that in addition to being the lowest price supplier that I found for the cable, Provantage shipped the cable promptly and packed it in a well-padded container.

As I understand the Cablewizard 2 lite. Doesn't allow for mouse control. So If we connect a Computer to the cable.. How do we control the PC. If we cannot use a mouse.
Or Am I missing something basic here..
