Over the weekend I came into possession of a mint looking Amiga 1080 monitor. Since the Apple RGB monitor I use with my IIgs has seen better days I thought I might use the 1080 with it. From what I've read this should be possible since they're both analogue RGB monitors. However when I went to go hook it up I discovered that Apple monitor cable is not compatible with the 1080. The 1080 has a regular looking RGB port while the Apple has a much wider port. Where can I get a cable that will allow me to hook up the 1080 to the IIgs?
Here are the pin to pin connections you need to make the cable. http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2MONITOR.html#015
Is the 1080 a better monitor to use or should I look into getting another Apple RGB monitor? The 1080 looks like it has a slightly bigger screen which is already a big plus in my book.
