Title: VGA-RGB adaptor
Post by: steve30 on May 10, 2006, 07:29:46 PM

Is there some sort of VGA-RGB adaptor which will allow me to connect my Microvitec 1438 monitor to a PC with VGA out?

Cheers
Steve

you may construct one by your self using these guides:
23 pin rgb (http://www.l8r.net/technical/t-db23video.shtml) 15 pin vga (http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~kzs/tools/vga_pins.html)

Thanks. But where can I get an RGB connector from?

I don't think anyone can find 23 pin D shell cpnnectors now.  You could either build your own, if you are handy with fabrication, or hack a second hand one.

hmmm maybe Matthew at amigakit (http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=21_72&osCsid=15b98114cee660e9ec4adf78215b8daa) can help you, or/and make one for you with your specifications.

@amigakit: Do you have 23 pin connectors?

Yes we had a delivery of 23-pin connectors today.

Hi Amigakit, sorry to bug you on the point, but are they still being manufactured anywhere?
