Trying to figure out the pinout of the vga passthrough connector on this Matsushita-Kotobuki Electronics (aka Panasonic) MKE-SR8581 DVD decoder card which was sold only as an add-on to one particular Hitachi Flora Prius model in 1997, finding the drivers was hard enough as you can imagine!

From the picture it kinda looks like a Dreamcast or PS1/PS2 video connector.

No, it has 2 rows of 8 pins, one appears unused, no friction mark on it.

Needed something for a 3.5 bay and wanted something "weird" so got this tape backup drive and tested it today. Looks like it works! At some point I'll probably get a floppy drive to better match that early 90s dark beige.
