brilliant Craig !
gotta go back to upping my VST count.
when I red on this forum someone had 1139 plugins it seemed the right thing to do.

Thanks all for the expert identifying

I was rather hoping it was an older style monitor connection of some description.

Beeps, our work PCs are sooo old they only have VGA connectors.

Except mine... it has a DVi and a VGA

However, the DVi out doesn't work so I'm stuck with using only one monitor - hence my hope that the 'unknown' slot was some kind of monitor out.

Maybe a game port?

I still have some gear that would use that port. I have to use one of these instead.

perhaps a 'VGA multiplier' box wood be a solution.

Those were typically 15 pins. This is a 9 pin serial port.
