Neumann) Organization: University of Delaware Lines: 37 Does anyone know if it's possible to hook up a Nintendo System to an IBM CGA monitor? The Nintendo has two Phono plug outputs; one for Video and one for Audio. Hooking the Audio to my Stereo works fine, I just need to know if there's some way to connect the video to the CGA monitor. This is a pure video signal (I assume), not RF modulated, and works fine when hooked to our Zenith TV in monitor mode. If it helps, the manual that comes with the monitor has the following chart for the monitor's input connection: ------------------------------------------------------------------- (5) PIN # SIGNAL (9) ------------------------- (4) 1 SHIELD (8) 2 GROUND (3) 3 RED (7) 4 GREEN (2) 5 BLUE (6) 6 INTENSITY (1) 7 NC 8 H.SYNC 9 Pin D-Sub Connector 9 V.SYNC ------------------------------------------------------------------- Input Signal: Video : R.G.B.I. TTL Level,positive H.V.Sync. : TTL Level,positive ------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm willing to try anything that won't destroy the monitor. Any kind of suggestions would be appreciated. Is there a chance that it is possible to make this connection? Please E-mail if possible. Brian Neumann ----> neumann@udel.edu
