Firstly (based on other messages here), how have you
connected the
monitor up? According to my Model 1 schematic, the monitor connector has
the video output on pin 4 and ground on pin 5 (the pins are numbered in
the order 1 4 2 5 3 of course). It could be something trivial like a bad
ground.
Doh!
Yes, Tony, your suspicion is correct. I had ASS-u-MEd that the ground was
on the same pin as on every other machine with a 5-pin DIN video connector
that I've played with. So I was using a stereo component cable, and using
the appropriate RCA connector to bring pin 4 to the monitor.
It looks like time to build a proper cable.
Maybe somebody should take my collection away from me before I blow
something up. ;)
