Does anyone have a first generation LaCie ElectronBlue 19 monitor?

I've got one (bought it when it first came out), and I'd like to use the BNC connectors on the back to hook it up to a second Mac so that I can switch between them with the useful button on the front (no need for a KVM switch as both Macs have keyboards and mice. This solution avoids ghosting probs very handily).

I have the right cable (vga-->BNC), but I'm not sure which BNC port on the monitor goes with which connector. To complicate matters, the monitor is basically stuck in position (in a box on a desk) and I can only connect the cables by feel. I seem to remember that of the five ports, the R, G, and B ports are labled, but I can't see the back to know which is which.

Can anyone point me to a spec sheet that shows the back of the monitor (a mail to LaCie has gone unanswered), and perhaps tell me which connector goes with which port? I haven't found anything on Google to help.

Thanks for any assistance!

I have a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 900u, which is the direct predecessor to the Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 920, which is what the ElectronBlue 19 I is. Most likely the connector locations have not changed, and you can't really harm anything connecting them wrong.

On mine, from L to R (as seen when looking at the back of the monitor), the BNCs are
R, G, B, Horizontal/Composite Sync, Vertical Sync.

If you have a cable with 5 plugs, connect them all. If you only have 4 plugs, leave the Vertical Sync empty.

Just what I needed, thanks very very much!

Also glad to hear I can't harm anything _when_ I do it wrong :-)
