2)If the
colours are wrong but consistent, can't you modify them after
digitising them?
Not easily. It's an analog capture and there are luma/chroma cross-talk
issues that make things worse. I would only do that if desperate, and
it still wouldn't look right.
What are you really trying to do? Waht is the machine you are taking the
outputs from, and what are you trying to do with them?
3) Take a look at the CGA monitor schematic,
particularly the part from
the RGBI TTL inputs to the CRT cathodes. This will show you how the 4 TTL
signals are combined to produce analogue RGB signals.
I would need to go to school to understand what I would be looking at.
Err, I didn't. For the record I have never had a single formal class in
any form of electronicvs.
I am pretty darn certain that this can't be done with a simple cable, and
it can't be done properly with passive components. You are going to need
some simple chips to do this.
The input stage of a CGA monitor will kelp (and will show you how colour
6 is handled), but you will need to make modifications.
