Figure 2-8 GIMO connectors and Berlin adapter card
To make the connection, you plug the GIMO connector on the ribbon cable into the
GIMO connector socket on the PCI card, as shown in Figure 2-9. You then connect the
GIMO connector on the other end of the cable to the GIMO connector socket on the
Berlin adapter card and then plug the Berlin adapter card into the GIMO connector
socket on the CPU’s main circuit board. This is the best way to integrate the
PC compatibility card with the Macintosh host system, since the PC video can be
alternately driven onto the built-in monitor or the external monitor without using an
additional loop-back cable.
