I'll try to trace the pins as you suggested in another post, Tony, and get
back later. But I don't have an oscilloscope or logic analyser to help
figure out the video signal. Which makes me regret not picking up those
old oscilloscopes that I saw at a garage sale last year, only a couple of
miles from here. :/
Ouch! And if
my machine is the same, this would disprove my theory about
the plugs, unless the 8-pin connector that I think might be for the video
actually just mated with a 5-pin connector.
A 5 pin DIN plug will mate with a 7 or 8 pin socket (!). Just what you
need to cause problems IMHO.
Which way round do you think the connectors are? -tony
