who's got an M88k Aviion? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Hello Salo,

...
  is there any 3 BNC -> 5 BNC cable out there? maybe
that would
 solve my problem. 
 I have never seen anything like this. While it is easy enough
to join two or three signals ( Software Integrators and Mirage,
the makers of Fixed Frequency Video Cards for PC's  used to
do it by soldering a couple of resistors on the back of their
video cards, one from H to green, and the other from V to green,
taking care of sync type, while frequency timings were still taken
care of in their customized video bios's ), it would be way beyond
my ( practical only, and limited at that ) level of knowledge
to know how to strip the sync signals off the green line, and
individually separating them at that, to properly make that signal
into a separate sync video signal.

                          Sincerely,

                           Bennett

  If you don't mind experimenting, under the

 without electrocuting yourself, I believe on the left side of
 the monitor you will find some adjustments, some of which might
 be labeled, horizontal frequency, horizontal phase, horizontal
 size, horizontal center, etc. You might try tweaking some of
 those and seeing if that stabilizes the image.  
 i tried these already. some little changes occur but nothing big and nothing
 which could indicate better state - just change. i do not think this is the
 way it will work.

 i am not familiar with so old monitors (i was 10 and knew nothing about any
 other hardware than PC and 8bits at the time it was constructed ;)) is there
 any 3 BNC -> 5 BNC cable out there? maybe that would solve my problem.

  Or you might try a 5 BNC variety Sony multisync,
just hooking
 up R, G, and B.

 or if you have a multisync with a HD15M pigtail, I have hooked
 these up by coming out of computers with BNC video out by
 connecting to a BNC to HD15 cable hooked up so that the BNC's
 are to the computer, then used a HD15F-HD15F gender changer to
 join the BNC to HD15 cable to the monitor's HD15M pigtail.  
 yes, i could use another monitor, but i want to use this one.. it is looking
 fine and i do not want to throw it out :(

  Just some experimental options to possibly try.

 thanks anyway

 regards,
