However, to
use the 80 column mode of the C128, you'll need an RGB
monitor. You can use a VGA monitor with the appropriate db9-hdb15
converter. Unfortunately, few monitors support the composite video
needed for the 40 column/C64 mode and the RGB modes, but they're worth
it if you can find'em.
If you want 80-column _monochrome_ (which I did for my bench setup since I
didn't have an RGB monitor handy to test these units with) it's not all that
hard to make an adapter cable to use. A fair number of different mono
monitors worked with this.
Right. Just connect pin 7.
The 1802 monitor was actually sold with such an adaptor, so it was officially
sanctioned by Commodore.
