Hello,
I have TMCC 6-12911 which includes the base and power supply. I also have the Cab1 remote.
Setup is fairly straightforward except I see no explanation as to what the computer connector is for.
It has a VGB port but no wire, no instructions, can't find any mention of it anywhere. What is it?

OK, I'll bite. What is a VGB port?

If you're talking about the serial connection, don't worry about it for basic use. It's to connect to wired TMCC accessories or to connect computerized layout applications on a computer.
Thanks, It's a homemade VGA RGB 24 pin connector.
Bob...I moved this topic to the correct forum. Note that you put it in the 3-rail traditional trains category initially which is not the subject of your topic.
The command base (Base-1) looks like this on its rear end:
John's point about the computer connection is right on track. The serial connector is actually labeled "Computer".
BTW -- it looks like 9 pins, not 24. Therefore it's not a vintage Personal Computer VGA CRT monitor-style connection (say from an IBM PS/2 Personal Computer). It's more like a serial printer interface on a standard old PC.
Functionally though it's actually neither. It's unique to this TMCC usage.
