[Coco] Current Status of the "Help Send A Fellow CoCoNut To This Year's CoCoFEST" Campaign

[Chester Patterson]

Some ICOM brand ham radios in the last 10 years or so use the identical 10 pin plug for hooking up accessories or peripherals. If you have trouble locating it try "ICOM peripheral cable" or "ICOM accessories cable" in ebay. Perhaps pricey...
Personally, I just knocked off the 10 pin connector entirely from the monitor cable and used a DB9 male on the monitor cable and used a 10 pin header (flat ribbon cable) to DB9 female for the Coco RGB connector (unfortunately pin 10 on the RGB gets lost but does not affect the vid). I removed the guts from the TV out box and put the DB9f in there after making the appropriate hole in the sheet metal with a nibbling tool, and cutting away some of the Coco case with a Dremel moto tool.

Hi Bill,
I just looked at the write up on your web page and my 1084S has a round TTL RGB input also, so I will just need the cable that mates to the Coco 3.  I'll have to get the round TTL RGB cable from ebay.  Hopefully there is one available.  I was able to get an analog RGB cable since my monitor also has the analog RGB input, but I figured after getting it that I needed to use the TTL RGB input for which I don't have a cable yet.  Your write up confirmed my thoughts, however, should I try the analog RGB cable anyway?  If you hear of a TTL RGB cable with the round connector, would you please let me know.  Thanks a bunch for all the information on your cabling experience with the 1084S monitors in your possession.  I do appreciate it.
