I'm sure they can send you one, best thing to do is to call and be persistent.
If one person says no, try another.
It certainly is possible to make your own, too.

If Matrox won't give you one, I have an extra one I can send you....

Dmitri,
If you could that would be really cool. If you want some cash for it let me know, since we're both in LA it wouldn't be difficult.PIII 700@960, Asus CUSL2, Adaptec 29160, 2x Seagate Barracuda 18.2GB, SB LIve!, 3COM 3C905TX, 256MB Muskin Rev. 2 PC133 at 2-2-2, G400MAX soon the be replaced with ?.Comment

I'd take Dimitri up on the offer because I had to buy one from Matrox (the cable didn't come with my OEM G400 DH). I just ordered it today -- $10 -- from customerservice@matrox.com (but they can take a day or two before they respond). We'll see how long they take to ship the cable.

And remember, it's not a cable. It's called a "dongle."
Don't be embarassed. Say it with pride (over and over):
dongle
dongle
dongle
dongle
dongle
dongle
dongle
Gawd, I feel better. Liberated, actually.

It's actually more of an adapter than a dongle.
Many dongles provide pass-through support, but that is not the primary -- or even a required -- feature. Dongles are supposed to have an intrinsic purpose/feature (most commonly copy protection).
The DualHead thingy has no intrinsic function other than the pass-through connectors, so the term "adapter" is more apt than "dongle".
Although "thingy" would work as well.Comment

We refer to it as a break out cable.

I got my dongle in the mail yesterday. [How often do you get to say that?]
I ordered it a week ago from Matrox (see my earlier post in this thread). I just thought I'd let you know about the quick turnaround time from Matrox customer service.
And also, of course, to say I had a dongle delivery.
