You need to check the scan rate on the monitor to be sure it handles the 31.5 khz (I think that's VGA scan rate). It may be that it's only a 15.75khz or such like a BARC monitor I have on an Amiga. If it is in fact a 31.5khz monitor and it is not working, try buffering the sync line. The sync is probably a composite sync so just bring BOTH the Horizontal and Verticle sync lines from the VGA to the monitor. If you need the specs on a buffer chip, I can find them. It uses 5 volts to drive which probably can be pulled from the VGA card. I have done this using voltage from a monitor pinout itself (Mit- subishi Diamondscan) when I needed to buffer the sync. A well known cablemaker is Redmond Cable, in Redmond, CA I believe. If you need the address/phone I can look it up. Steven.Ayscue@bbs.acs.unc.edu
