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.
