[Coco] CM-8 Monitor Extension cable

[Salvador Garcia]

I hope someone is able to help you. If you provide enough information perhaps an electronics shop an make the cable for you. The downside is that they will most likely charge you more than somewhere on the list. If I had experience with the CM 8 monitor I would volunteer, but without having a setup that I can use to test the cable I rather pass. My eyesight is not too good either, but I can still manage some soldering if I have enough light.
Best wishes! Salvador

Probably. I’ve been known to put my mouth in gear before my brain is
cranked up :).

Anyway, unfortunately, there is no-one around here to assist. I’m in a
“computer ignorant”
Town.
