Is it necessary to cut off the signal to a WGD9200 monitor at startup? If so, I will be interested.

: Due to overwhelming requests, I'm currently building a batch of the video cut-off relays described on the PC2JAMMA webpage. I've build several of them for my own projects and they work great. In case you don't know what the relay does, it cuts the signal from the PC to an arcade monitor until the video card is running in a 'safe' mode. This prevents damage to your arcade monitor.
: The cost of the relays will be $45 plus shipping. The circuitry will be enclosed in a black plastic box. On one side, there is a parallel cable to attach to your computer, and on the other side is a SVGA cable to connect to your video card along with labeled wires for red, green, blue, snyc, +5 volt, and ground.
: I'll be posting a picture on my webpage soon. Please let me know if anyone is interested, so I'll know how many parts to order.
: Thanks,
