Jon...
ohh, is what you want the stereo output or the dolby output located on
the adapter card..??
if the former, go to radio shack and get a jack for the stereo out
female jack..
if the latter, you'll need an S-video cable to your dolby digital thing
and another video cable (IBM only supplies one, they USED to supply two,
looong ago) to connect to the dolby out socket..
in any case, you need more than originally supplied.. including, but not
limited to, a manual that explains this..
(above comment made withOUT reading the f.. uhh fine (770X/Z) manual..)
