Atari Jaguar Help

So I finally managed to get a Cat Box at a reasonable price for my Atari Jaguar. Apparently this is the way to get the best video out of the Jaguar (better than S-Video or Composite.)



I thought you just used a computer monitor cable to connect it to a monitor, in my case an Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 Home Theater Projector.

Here is the info about the Cat Box from Atari Age dot com

CatBox by ICD

The CatBox is a much sought after piece of hardware for Jaguar fans. Unfortunately ICD is no longer producing the CatBox, so your only means of obtaining one is from someone who already has one. The CatBox is a nifty little peripheral that has quite a few useful ports:

* Composite and S-Video Jacks
* RGB Monitor port
* Stereo/Mono Line-Out Audio Jacks
* Two Powered Headphone Jacks with Volume Control
* RS232 and RJ11 CatNet communication ports
* DSP-through connector
My question is how do I hook this up to my projector using the PC connection. Is there a specific cable other than a typical computer monitor cable, is there an adapter, etc... ???

Try looking up answers over at AtariAge. Based on what I've seen at their forums, they would know how the CatBox works and how to hook it up to various displays.
