SETTING UP
The minimum system (or using Commodore 128D Personal Com
puter is the C128D itself, and a suitable monitor or TV set.
Connecting the
Keyboard
Setting up your equipment should be easy if you follow the instruc
tions and illustrations closely. Make sure that EVERYTHING is con
nected properly before you turn on the power.
The keyboard has a cable attached to the back of it. Plug the
end of this cable into the keyboard port on the right hand
side of the computer. If you wish the keyboard to be angled,
rather than flat, pull out the two feet located under the back
of the keyboard.
Connecting Your
Commodore 128t
To a Monitor or
Television
Set
You can connect either a standard television set (color, or black and
white) or a video monitor to display your computer information. A
video monitor resembles a TV set; however, the video monitor dis
play has better resolution (sharpness) than a TV display.
Connecting a Monitor
Connecting a monitor is easy—just plug it into the VIDEO port or the
RGBI port on the back of the Commodore 128D. What port you use
depends on the type of monitor you are using—composite, RGBI, or
dual.
Connecting a Composite Monitor
A composite monitor like the Commodore 1702 provides a
40- column color display. You plug a composite monitor into
the 8-pin port labeled VIDEO on the back of the computer.
