GVP Spectrum 28/24 cable pinouts

[bludger]

Can anyone with a Spectrum 28/24 tell me the pinouts for the monitor passthrough cable? (15 - 9 pin).

I got it working in dual monitor mode, but I can't transfer anything between screens except the mouse pointer.

Trouble is, I'm spoiled by the twin monitor setup on my PC. I probably expect too much of the poor old 4000.


 :crazy:

Anyone ......?



Anyone at all.....?!

If you've got the two monitors working then there's nothing wrong with your cable...

The fact that you can't move things between the screens except for your mousepointer is not a cable fault.

The problem is, I haven't got a cable at all!

I want to make one and just use 1 monitor.

Ah ok!

Didn't get that at first :lol:

I made a cable myself for a Piccolo SD64 that works fine. I guess it's the same pin layout for your RTG card, but I'm not sure.

Here is the link I used (it's in German but the pin layout is in English so you shouldn't have to many problems!):

According to the GVP Spectrum user's manual, that is correct for the nine pin plug.

Thanks guys, I'll get out the soldering iron and give it a try!
