Digital Prism was one of the names they used, later they called it 
Colorlink and more often RGB extender. The early cards had a single 
Analog RGB cable. The name Digital Prism showes up when they added 
a second cable to the card for IBM 9 pin(CGA?) monitors. 
I decided to take a chance and tried the Analog RGB cable from my 
Second Sight card. Seemed to work fine with a IIgs monitor except 
the red & green were crossed. So I made up a cable like it with 
those two wires switched. So far it's working fine.
