[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Help! CGA port pin layout wanted

pcl@ihlpf.ATT.COM (Liu) (07/29/88)

I am in the process of hooking up the 9" Sony color monitor that came from
an Apricot PC (made in England).  After initial hookup is done (needed a
gender changer), I can barely see the text 'cause they are very skewed.

An Apricot dealer in Ontario gave me the pin layout for that monitor.
Now I need to verify whether they are pin-to-pin compatible.  Otherwise
I need to make a custom cable for this.

Could someone on the netland detail the pin layout of the 9-pin CGA connector?

Thanks in Advance!

My pleasure. The pinouts are as follows:

1     ground
2     ground
3     red
4     green
5     blue
6     + intensity
7     (reserved)
8     + horizontal drive
9     vertical drive
