A500 with a Commodore 1902A monitor?
« on: October 03, 2008, 01:13:50 AM »
Hi guys!

This is likely to be my first post of many around here...

Anyway, I just received a nice A500 package that I found on eBay, complete with a mouse, joystick, lots of games (more than 70 floppies!), and cables.  I currently have a C128 that I've been playing with, and to go with it, a C1902A monitor.  One of the cables that came with the A500 is an RBG video to round DIN connector (it looks like a 25-pin serial or parallel cable on one end, and a more normal round Commodore video connector on the other).  However, with that cable connected to the A500 and the 1902A (the round end is plugged into the "2" hole on the screen), I can't get a picture.  Using the B/W "mono" output works fine, though - just without that glorious, glorious color that the Amiga was known for.

Any tips?  Google was especially unhelpful on this one...

Thanks in advance,

Huxley
