Hi,
After a bit of help again :-). I managed to pick up a Philips CM8833-
II monitor today and was wondering if i needed to do anything special
to get it to work? I did do a search of the forums but didn't find
anything specific. Looking at the pinouts it would seem I should be
able to use the cable I have for my Commodore 1084s, but when i use it
the picture just rolls i.e not in sync.
The cable I made for the 1084s is cabled as per the faq and i get a
stable picture on my 1084s monitor...though red isnt very good.
The only information i have found on the pinouts for the philips
monitor are:-
1,2 - Ground
3 - Red
4 - Greem
5 - Blue
7 - Status RGB
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Andrew
It may be like the 1084S monitor that I have hooked up to my daughters
IIgs in that it requires a small value resistor between composite
synch and ground.
I refer you to the relevent thread here:http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.sys.apple2/browse_frm/thread/7...
Have a read through that and see if it sounds familiar. The solution
presented within that thread did fix the problem for me - the monitor
in question has now been in use for nearly a year.
If you get stuck or need pics of what I did, let me know and I'll see
what I can do.
Cheers,
Mike
Hi Thanks for the comments guys. I don't have a resistor to hand, but
will try some of the comments about connecting the composite sync to H
and V sync and possibly try sync on green.
Cheers

Hi,
Well i got the monitor to sync putting the composite sync onto pin 2.
Though was a bit disappointed with the picture as wasn't as clear/good
as the 1084s-d2 monitor I have (well ignoreing the weak red
colour ;-)). Had thought they were based on similar tubes....getting a
nice collection of monitors though ;-)
