O.k. I know that this has been posted a little while back, but like a fool, I didn't save the article [complete shame]. Here it goes: My brother has a C-128. Last night we brought up CP/M, but all he has by way of a monitor is a monochrome monitor (without sound even). So, having read an article on how to hook up 80-columns on a monitor other than an RGBI, I took some wires and tried to hook the monochrome monitor up to the RGBI output of the C-128. I tried the "ground" pins (both of them) in conjunction with the "monochrome" pins (as listed in the Commodore Users Manual); HOWEVER, I only got a garbled picture and a very high sqeal from the monitor. So, here's my question: how does one hook up the monitor to the RGBI port? I KNOW that the C-128 can be hooked through the RGBI port to a composite video monitor and display 80-columns, but I don't remember how it is done. I'm pretty sure it has been posted to the net, so please mail any replies to the e-mail address below...if anyone else wants the same information, just drop me a line and I will send the responses to them also. Thanks in advance. -- Chris Lishka /lishka@uwslh.uucp Wisconsin State Lab of Hygiene <-lishka%uwslh.uucp@rsch.wisc.edu \{seismo, harvard,topaz,...}!uwvax!uwslh!lishka
