I have the RS-232-to-TTL level converter parts on the way. One thing I don't have is the 4-pin connector for the monitor. I've opened my spare GDM-F520 to take a look at the connector. I don't know if the -FW900 is the same, but my connector has "rectangular" pins which are broader than normal square profile breadboard or jumper-style pins. I've found that most of the connector styles I have (such as for audio card internal connections) don't really fit the pins properly. Every picture I see on ebay or in a howto has a standard square-pin connector it seems.
Does anyone have some links or leads to the proper kind of connector? Part numbers or descriptions of the type of pin/connector would be good because then I can do my own searches. Supply houses in Canada would be even better. I could go to Sayal or an electronics place and wander around looking at connectors, but I may find something that looks right but the spacing is wrong and waste a lot of time. I'd like to see if I can leverage someone's experience first. Or perhaps I just need to "shove it on"?
Thanks.
