jgraham@pro-generic.UUCP (Jonathan Graham) (01/22/89)

Whoever needed the pinouts for the Video Expansion Port on the Apple //c (The
DB-15 connector at the back of the //c).  They are as follows.....

   8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
 15 14 13 12 11 10 9

This is the order of the pin structure when the port is facing you!

The labels and definitions of the pins are as follows....

Pin #1: TEXT: Video text signal from TMG; (Timing Generator) set to inverse of
GR, except in doouble-high-resolution mode.
Pin #2: 14M: 14 Mhz master timing signal from the system oscillator...
Pin #3: SYNC  : Displays horizontal and vertical syncronization signal from IOU
pin 39.
Pin #4: PRAS: Displays vertical counter bit from IOU pin 4 in text mode
indicates second low-order vertical counter; in graphics mode indicates
low-resolution.
Pin #5: IVSOUND: One-volt sound signal from pin 5 of the audio hybrid circut
(AUD)
Pin #6: LDPS : Video shift-register load enable from pin 12 of TMG.
Pin #7: WNDW: Active area display blankiing; includes both horizontal and
vertical blanking.
Pin #8: +12V: Regulated +12 volts DC; can drive 300mA
Pin #9: PRAS: Ram row-address strobe from TMG pin 19
Pin #10: GR : Graphics mode enable from IOU pin 2
Pin #11: SEROUT: Serialized character-generator output from pin 1 of the
74ls166 shift register.
Pin #12: NTSC  : Composite video signal from vid hybrid chip
Pin #13: GND   : Ground referennce and supply
Pin #14: VIDD7 : From 74LS374 video latch; causes half-dot shift if high.
Pin #15: CREF  : Color reference signal from TMG pin 3; 3.58 MHz....

That's it....enjoy!
