[comp.sys.amiga] Analog RGB cable for A500 & Comments

shah1@houxa.UUCP (J.SHAH) (11/30/87)

I have an AMIGA 2002 monitor and an AMIGA 500 computer. I need a cable
for ANALOG RGB (now I am running the 2002 as a digital RGB) mode. I
have looked at the 23 pin RGB port pinout description on the A500
manual. I am not sure which ones of these lines go to the monitor side.

I need an schematic for an ANALOG RGB cable with 23pin on the A500
side and 9 pin on the monitor side.

I would appreciate if someone on this news group can post or mail me
such an schematic.

I also need a printer driver for a Toshiba 321 or 340 type 24 pin
printer.

All these must have been discussed in the net before but I am one of
those thousands of A500 owners who are late comers to the AMIGA world 
who need these information now.

I was going to upgrade from C-64, IBM PC => MAC SE but A500 (the real
MAC killer) saved the day. Thanks to the A1000 owners and developers
for keeping the Amiga dream alive.

My A500 dealer wants a very large sum of $$$ for the analog monitor
and so I have decided to make one myself.

Thank you.

I've a Toshiba P321SL that I have been trying to beg, borrow, steal, or
write a functioning driver for.  Unfortunately, lack of money for a 'C'
compiler, lack of detailed docs on the A500, and limited (but growing)
familiarity with th 68000 have been slowing me down.  Thus, I would like
to enter a ME TOO plea.

Oh wow!  Well, now we know there are at least two of us in existence.
