I have an old NEC Multisync monitor which appears to support both digital and analog inputs via a single connector. (The signal type is selectable using a switch located on the back). However, as I don't have any docs, I don't know the configuration of the pins on the connector when it is in analog mode. Can anyone send me this information? I imagine its readily available in the user documentation that came with the monitor. Thanks in advance!

If this is so, you need to make an adapter cable from an HD-15P at the VGA card to a DB-9S at the multisync. Typical pinouts are shown below. VGA output NEC input 1. RED (out) 1. RED (in) 2. GREEN (out) 2. GREEN (in) 3. BLUE (out) 3. BLUE (out) 4. Monitor ID2 4. Horizontal SYNC (out) 5. GROUND 5. Vertical SYNC (out) 6. RED (return) 6. GROUND 7. GREEN (return) 7. GROUND 8. BLUE (return) 8. GROUND 9. No Pin 9. GROUND 10. SYNC (return) 11. Monitor ID0 12. Monitor ID1 13. Horizontal SYNC (out) 14. Vertical SYNC (out) 15. Reserved So you need to make a cable like this HD-15P DB-9S FUNCTION 1. --------------------- 1. RED 2. --------------------- 2. GREEN 3. --------------------- 3. BLUE 13. --------------------- 4. H SYNC 14. --------------------- 5. V SYNC 5. ------------------+-- 6. GROUND |-- 7. |-- 8. +-- 9. Set the switches on the NEC to ANALOG, MANUAL, and 64 COLOR. Run a program that uses graphics mode and adjust V HOLD for no roll as you switch back and forth between text mode and graphics mode. Adjust the CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS controls until the colors look O.K. THis information is tested only on the NEC Multisync JC-1401P3A with a Video 7 VEGA card. Any use with other equipment is strictly framming on the permis of the derialtor, blah, blah, etc. > Thanks in advance!
