An update on this...

I found the socket on the nvidia card and the pins on the motherboard
that I need to connect.

I did not the the correct cable, but by studying some photos of the
correct cable being used I was able to work out which pin was gnd and
rig my own cable.  I *think* it was correct.. The magic black smoke
did nto try the run away, as least.

After doing this I was still unable to get any sound out of the system
through the HDMI cable.

I was given up for now and gone back to a VGA/audio cable.

Thanks for all the advice and help!

Stuart.
