Philmore part number 70-568 has 100% integrity between all 15 pins.  This is
the item that Altex Computers in Texas sells, per N6XI's posting that W4TV
linked below.  All the others that several of us have checked have a number
of unconnected pins and some also have multiple-connected pins.  In the
typical VGA application, this is fine, but not for this K3 application.
