I have a IBM Enhanced Color Display monitor, model number 5154001, which uses a 9-pin cable. I would like to know how to hook this up to my Amiga 500. I'd prefer to just buy a cable that would let me do this, but part numbers and instructions to build my own could be ok too... Thank's -- Ted Boardman teddbdmn@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Clevenger Hall Box 10 Muncie, IN 47306

Try "Cables To Go" at 800-826-7904 or Redmond Cable at 206-868-2168 (Phone numbers are old but hopefully they are still there). One of them used to sell adapters for Amiga to IBM montors. -- ========================================================================== Carolyn Scheppner -- Tech. Mgr.
