  You may also need one or more of the following adapters. These adapters may 

be obtained from your LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP supplier and other good retailers.  

 

Video adapter - 13W3 male connector to 15 pin D-type connector 

(LINDY Part No. 70127) 

If you have a Sun computer with an older style 13W3 video connector then you 

will need an adapter to convert this to the 15 way D-type format.  

 

Keyboard adapter - 6 pin mini-DIN female to 5 pin standard DIN male  

(LINDY Part No. 70130) 

If you have a PC with an older style 5 pin standard DIN connector then you will 

need an adapter to convert this to the 6 pin mini-DIN format. 

 

Mouse adapter - 9 pin D-type female to 6 pin mini-DIN female  

(LINDY Part No. 70058) 

If you have a PC with an older style RS232 mouse connection then you will need 

an adapter to convert this to the 6 pin mini-DIN format. There are several 

specifications of these adapters that are provided with various mice. They all look 

the same but unfortunately there are several common wiring schemes all of which 

are different. To ensure that you have the right adapter, either purchase this from 

your LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP supplier or check your adapter against the 

wiring specification given in Appendix A. 

 

For the user port connections you will need: 

 

  A monitor with a standard VGA-style 15-pin analogue video connector that will 

work when connected directly to each of your computers. LINDY CPU Switch Dual 

MP supports low and high resolution monitors.  

 

  A USB keyboard.  

 

USB keyboards are available in Sun, PC and Mac styles. Each style has a slightly 

different layout and different numbers of keys. Any USB keyboard may be used but 

for maximum ease of use you are recommended to choose a keyboard style with at 

least as many keys as the native keyboard style for the computers that you wish to 

connect. This will avoid the need to use key combinations to create any missing keys
