[comp.sys.mac] Sony CPD-1302 cable?

fons@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu (01/25/88)

Greetings netland!  I and a few friends have all bought Mac II's and we have
also bought Sony cpd-1302 monitors.  I have noticed no problem with the 
display after I adjusted the PIN amp on the circut board to relieve the
pincushion effect but I have noticed a tendency of the machine to reboot
when I try the clear the screen with the machine on.  Needless to say I
am very careful not to touch the screen while it is on, but I would like to
know if I have made a mistake in the cable I made.  I would appreciate any
other pinouts (pins missed etc.) that would improve the situtation (along
with comments why it works).  
Mac II	 Sony Multiscan      Function
  1		1		ground
  2		3		Red
  5		4		Green/Sync
  9		5		Blue

I have used RG-174U mini coax to make the three seperate lines for the RGB
and the outer braid in the coax to carry the ground signal.  I have then
put yet another braid about the cables to hold them together and provide more
shielding.  (I bought a commercial cable that made beautiful patterns on
the screen whenever the disk was seeking-I attribute that to poor shielding).
Well this does work to those out there who need the connections, but I am always
looking to improve things.  Thanks for any help in advance.
