015- Which monitors and adapters can I use to replace my
IIgs monitor?
You should keep an eye out for any analog RGB monitor that can horizontally
sync down to 15.75 kHz. These include:
AppleColor RGB Monitor replacement (model A2M6014, the IIgs monitor)
Commodore 1084 models and equivalents like the Magnavox Professional 80
Sony CPD 1302 MultiSynch
NEC MultiSync (original), MultiSync II, MultiSync 3D
Commodore 1902 (although most of these only do digital RGB)
Tandy CM-8 (not sure about model but it was used with the Coco3)
Atari SC1224 (used with the ST series)
Some TVs
For example, I just tried a Sony CPD 1302 multisych monitor on a GS and it
works perfectly; and it has a .25 dot pixel! Very crisp picture. I used a
standard cable from a Mac II (or you could check with Redmond Cable at
http://www.redcab.com/ ).
The NEC MultiSync II is another excellent monitor that will sync down to 15
kHz. (The MultiSync IIA won't work, though.) A cable you can use is shown
below:
NEC Multisync II Dsub-9 IIgs Dsub-15
1 Red 2 Red
2 Green 5 Green
3 Blue 9 Blue
4 Horizontal Sync 3 Composite Sync
5 Vertical Sync (NC)*
6 Red GND 1 Red GND
7 Green GND 6 Green GND
8 Blue GND 13 Blue GND
9 GND
*Note: DO NOT hook up Pin 5 (Vertical Sync); just chop it off. The NEC Multisync
II is capable of composite sync on its horizontal sync pin.
The Atari SC1224 used with the ST is a ~15 kHz monitor. There were several
versions, one by Goldstar, which appeared in one of the two case styles used by
Atari over the years and bore the Atari logo. It works fine with the IIgs,
provided an adapter cable is created. Redmond Cable can provide it.
The Commodore Amiga 1084 monitors and Magnavox equivalents (e.g.
Professional 80, 8CM515) will work with the Apple IIgs. You will need a special
Dsub-9 to Dsub-15 cable:
