It’s time to relinquish my title as DB-19 king of the world and share some of my supply with other members of the vintage computing community, whether they’re repairing old machines, designing new devices, or even selling products that compete with BMOW. Yes, you heard that correctly. Nobody should need to resort to work-arounds like 3D-printing substitute DB-19’s when there already exists a supply of first quality, all-metal, professionally manufactured parts.

Today I’m very excited to officially announce a new addition to the BMOW product lineup: the Mac Sync-inator VGA sync converter. I’ve been talking about this project for months, and it’s been available in small quantities while I gathered customer feedback, but now it’s finally ready for the bright lights and prime time. If you own a classic Macintosh or Apple IIgs computer, and have ever struggled to get it working with a standard VGA monitor, then the Mac Sync-inator is for you.| www.bigmessowires.com
Take the hassles out of vintage Macintosh monitor setup! The Mac Sync-inator is a Mac-to-VGA video converter with a powerful sync processor built-in. More than just a passive adapter, the Sync-inator is an active microcontroller-driven device that analyzes the sync signals received from your computer and converts them into new formats, enabling better compatibility across the spectrum of vintage video source and monitor combinations. | www.bigmessowires.com
