[Coco] Using a Commodore 1084S with the CoCo

[Frank Swygert]

Diego, download "Tandy's Little Wonder" from the list site (under Farna). There is a section on monitors that has the simple circuit (just a NOR gate) to combine the sync  for the CoCo3. At the time the book was written there was only one 1084S, and it worked fine with a straight through wired cable. Seems these others (D1 and D2) are similar to some of the older Sony and Atari ST monitors.

Indeed, this monitor has both
But still, there is some difference in the pinout.
There is no intensity line (that's good), but it uses a composite sync, 
while the CoCo has H Sync and V Sync.
Pin Number   RGB Analog Mode

1            Ground
2            Ground
3            Red
4            Green
5            Blue
6            N/C
7            Composite Sync
8            N/C
9            N/C

 Torsten mentions using the composite video signal for that... I guess 
is either that or use Mike's little adapter (I would have to get the 5v 
out of somewhere inside. I really can't plug another thing)
Thanks to all
Diego
