The answer is simple as possible : No. > without using Video/S-Video to VGA/Component Video >Converterconverter? "With..." or "Without..." : No. RS232 and video signals have nothing in common... except perhaps their respective ground connexion. >I need to connect to OpenBSD (RC-232C side) from windoze > (S-Video side). You will have better result playing with USB-Serial adapter when trying to fiddle with RS232 on Windows(tm) side... Note : take care of USB-Serial adapter capability to send BREAK signal if you realy need it... >[1] The pic is small/hopeless, but: > >http://www.sanyo-lcdp.com/option/images/poa-ca-vgas.jpg >One end is RC-232C, other - S-Video (7 pins). This is VGA-to-SVideo (dumb) adapter. In no case you can connect RS232 to VGA with this kind of cable excepted if you're using a hammer to convince a 9 pins DB plug to fit with a 15 pins DB plug. (Even in this case, i'm not sure that the concept is functionnaly correct). Eric.
