Amiga 2000 Connection problem

[AmigaWorkbench]

Hi!

I'm havng difficulties figuring out how to connect my Amiga 2000 with my Commodore 1081 monitor. I haven't used this set up since the early-mid 90s so I've forgotten the drill.

I can't find any connectors for this application. I have still got the mains cord for both monitor and computer but I need to know what sort of cable to use for connecting these two units.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

Thanks for your reply!

I don't have much know-how regarding connectors, but is it possible to find a cheap composite 23-pin/9-pin connector cable and are they widely available?

Fuzzy resolution is fine as long as it's cheap since I'm primarily just wan't to check if my Amiga 2000 is functional.

In fact, any cheap cable that enables me to connect the monitor and Amiga 2000 to set a diagnosis will work.

Hi

Thanks for your posting.

Here's a photo, taken with my mobile phone, illustrating the back-side connectionson the C1081 monitor and Amiga 2000. Although the quality is bad I hope it's visible enough.

Cheers!

I'm going to the flicks soon, but I will return to see any postings in this thread later this evening or tomorrow, in case you wonder why I don't reply

Here are two (slightly) better pictures of A2000 and C1081 monitor.

Hi,

Thanks!

I looked at Amigakit and found these cables (among others):

SCART TO AMIGA (RGB) CABLE WITH AUDIO, €16.56 and

SCART TV TO AMIGA (AV) CABLE WITH AUDIO, €4.86.

First and foremost I need to verify that this set up actually works and I'll go for the cheapest option. Will the 2nd cable (euro 4,86) work for the intended purpose?

Hi!

Ok, just coupling the units with one single RCA, then?

I'm probably talking through my hat ...but I've actually got something that looks like a "single" RCA cable in front of me. It's red in one end and black in the other end. Could this do the trick?

Hi!

I found these web-store offers on Scart-RCA connectors:

http://www.biltema.se/sv/Kontor---Teknik/TV-ljud-och-bild/Kablar/Scart--3-RCA-84633/

Could I use any of these three cables to connect my A2000 with the C1081 monitor?

Although the text is in Swedish, the images can be enlarged to have a better view.

Thanks in advance.

@AmigaWorkbench

Just use a single RCA cable if you just want to test how how you'r machine functions, and if you want good quality picture buy this one: http://www.ggsdata.se/Datorer/scartami.php

Hej och tack för svaret!

Är som sagt inte särskilt kunnig på det här med kablar. Hittade en billig scart-rca på Biltema för 29,90:-, vilket är biiligt med tanke på att jag till att börja med bara vill se om Amigan funkar. Den borde funka för detta ändamål, eller?

I have an amiga rgb ttl cable if u need one. Are u in europe? It has 6 pins on one end and 23 on the amiga end. Pm me if interested.
And a round 8 pin cable with 3 rca (video and 2 audio ) on the other end. Cant see how many pins ur monitor connector has from ur picture.

Thanks midway!

Yes I'm in Europe, Scandinavia.

I will try the "single RCA" path first. I will let you know in case I need a rgb ttl.

Cheers!

Ok,

I tried to hook up the C1081 monitor + A2000 using one of these:

http://biltema.se/sv/Kontor---Teknik/TV-ljud-och-bild/Kablar/Scart--3-RCA-84691/

("Anslutning: Hane - Hane" indicates male connectors)

It didn't work.The screen is still white.

The computer starts up and the fan sounds, however, the green light (under the red Power light) doesn't illuminate, and I also inserted the Amiga Workbench disk but the disk drive didn't seem to respond.

Is it safe to conclude that I'm dealing with a hardware failure or have I missed something?

Thanks in advance.
