I need to get a monochrome monitor hooked up to my computer so that I can handle some software development for computers which will only have a monochrome monitor attached to them (current computer has EGA). I have a monochrome board to stick in the ALR and I have scrounged up a monochrome monitor but herein lies the difficulty. The monitor has an 8 pin DIN socket on the back but the original cable seems to have disappeared. I can make a cable but I need to know the proper connections from the standard 9 pin Sub-D connector to an 8 pin DIN type connector. I don't know if such a standard even exists, if it is any help my sources seem to think that this monitor originally came with a Columbia(?) computer which I believe is now extinct. If anyone has the pinouts for a nine pin monochrome connection I would appreciate that information as well since if no information turns up I can always open the monitor and trace the connector connections to the video drivers in the monitor. Either E-mail or responses to the net are acceptable, I will summarize whatever E-mail I receive as well. Thanks in advance for any information the net is willing to extend to me. As always, G.W.
