Re: Monitor

   I use a IIc with a Video 7 adapter (9 pin).  This allows me to use a
Commodore 128 RGB cable to plug into the 8 pin digital RGB input.  It
works well and you get 16 colors very clearly.  The Video 7 is available
for Alltech Electronics. (www.allelec.com)

   Is the monitor a 1902a, and not a 1092a (never heard of that one).
I have the former and one input is digital, the other (5 pin) analog.
The analog refresh rate doesn't match the GS rate so connection is
difficult; although someone mentioned that they actually got it to work -
I don't know how).  I've found that simply making a cable doesn't work -
the result is a dim yellow screen instead of the familiar light blue
screen.
