Yup. I just dug out my Philips monitor, it is a CM8524, which is identical to the Commodore 1084s. The bad news is it does not have a TTL RGB Sub 9 connector but the good news is that it DOES have a DIN 8 pin TTL RGB input ! :) I know this was used for Commodore C128 computers that had a standard IBM CGA SUB 9 d output ! :) SOooooooo, I just need to find the correct cable and I'm good to go :) Looks like I already found it: http://www.vesalia.de/?V02b0f1253544713705f5b56520a514e01101f095441475205014... (It's the Commodore 128 RGBI Monitor Cable) I could still do the SCART version but the big benefit of using the TTL input is that I will have the SCART input free for hooking up game-boards. There doesn't seem to be a switch to select which RGB input to use though (there is one for switching between CVBS and RGB). O well, that is of later concern....

Correct, the +5v is an input, not an output. Remember it wasn’t an off the shelf B/W monitor, it was specifically Fluke’s B/W monitor for the programming option purchase.
And yes, the lack of 5v is a pain if you want to make up any kind of active sync circuit. Mine’s just connected to a 14” Hantarex Polo. I guess the monitor just accepts whatever the 9100 is outputting.
If it’s inverted sync then I know the MTC9000 will as it has a physical switch to change between positive and negative so either the Polo has the same or it does it automatically?

It does make sense, doesn't it....it would be extremely weird to put +5V on that pin.....
Actually....looking at the schematics again it looks like the monochrome monitor is actually FEEDING BACK the +5V judging by the "arrow" going "into" the connector...
However, I have a problem now.....I need +5V for the 74LS04....and I don't want to make this a messy job....so I think I'll switch to this: http://www.mikesarcade.com/wiretap/info/SyncInv.pdf
Guess I'll have to order a 74C04....

I have used a normal cga monitor on mine before. I don't remember doing anything special to use it. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
