Question: AE Colorlink



Does anyone know what monitors the AE Colorlink is intended to work with? It has two outputs, one came with an adapter for an IBM CGA/EGA style DB9 connector and the second header on the card is intended for an "Apple" monitor - the manual is no more explicit than that! I do not have the adapter for the 15-pin, but sat down and built what I believe is the correct setup to bring out to a DB15F. I cannot get display on either output, unfortunately.

Have tried a CGA adapter normally used with a Tandy CoCo (9-pin plug) and the Highway converter used with a IIgs (15-pin, with external 12V supply to switch the adapter into external video mode).

Looking at the circuitry, I'm thinking the 9-pin output is TTL level and the 15-pin is analog video (uses a couple of driver transistors). It's possible that I did not figure the pinout properly, I suppose.

If anyone with a ColorLink has time to take an ohmmeter to the 15-pin cable, I'd like to verify the wiring.
