[Coco] CM8 Cables color coding.

[Alexander Wallace]

Hi All,

I want to Thank Bruce W. Calkins and Camillus for responding to my request below. Some of the communication happened in private emails so I wanted to go ahead and communicate here the conclusion of this.

The colors of the cables in the CM8 Monitor equate to pins in the CoCo3 connector as follows:

1 - Orange with black dot (GND)
2 - Orange with red dot (GND)
3 - Yellow with black dot (Red)
4 - Yellow with red dot (Green)
5 - Green with black dot (Blue)
6 - Not connected - (Green with red dot)
7 - Gray with black dot (Audio)
8 - Gray with red dot (H Sync)
9 - White with black dot (V Sync)
10 - Not connected - (White with red dot);

The connector pins are organized like this:

+-----------+
| 1 3 5 7 9 |
| 2 4 6 8 10|
+-----------+

Hope this helps anyone.

Thanks!

Just figure out which which line on the CM-8's ribbon cable is number one and make sure the connector's pin one lines up.  At the moment my CM-8 is in a dark shed and I am not tripping about to look.  Shoot me a PM in the AM to remind me to look when I have some light.
