Re: 9pin RGB pinout to 15pin RGB pinout cable?

Thanks for the help everyone!

Okay, here is more info on the two monitor I have which I hope can be used
on a IIgs computer

Monitor 1:
Commodore 1084s with a 9 pin plug on the back.

Monitor 2:
Magnavox Professional with an 8 pin round plug on the back labeled TTL RGB
(do not know what this means)
and also a 6 pin round plug on the back labeled lin RGB (do not know what
this means)

Has anyone used these two monitors on a IIgs connected to the RGB connector
and if so how?

Thanks for any info again!
