[Techtoolslist] More updates to ftp - FLUKE

[Andre Huijts]

Yup. I just dug out my Philips monitor, it is a CM8524, which is identical to the Commodore 1084s.
The bad news is it does not have a TTL RGB Sub 9 connector but the good news is that it DOES have a DIN 8 pin TTL RGB input ! :)

I know this was used for Commodore C128 computers that had a standard IBM CGA SUB 9 d output ! :) SOooooooo, I just need to find the correct cable and I'm good to go :)

Looks like I already found it: http://www.vesalia.de/?V02b0f1253544713705f5b56520a514e01101f0954414752050140090a1e31115579633a223c6373744e03263f2a2a73661560131e7c752337697f78236a7a3c6b0e7c6a77090b72560c776603775c5e555039685b5d7a5b4d046c1a785c5b1b4f2e607d29072533221

(It's the Commodore 128 RGBI Monitor Cable)

I could still do the SCART version but the big benefit of using the TTL input is that I will have the SCART input free for hooking up game-boards. There doesn't seem to be a switch to select which RGB input to use though (there is one for switching between CVBS and RGB). O well, that is of later concern....
