[sci.electronics] Atari 2600 hacking: Attach to a IBM color monitor?

remaker@pepsi.amd.com (01/07/90)

I have an old atari 2600 VCS (Video game) which normally attaches to my
television.  I have putzed around with it and I am wondering if i can pull a
direct video and audio output from the box to drive an audio amp and an old
IBM personal color computer display (9 Pin D connector input).

To me, it seems like a trivial matter to match the grounds and direct audio to
an amp and the video to the appropriate IBM pin and totally bypass the 2600s
internal RF modulator.  I lack the pinouts for the IBM monitor and the
schematic of the 2600.

If anyone can provide these items, and any caveats which may prevent the frying 
of my electronics (or myself), please e-mail.

Thanks!
