Keywords: Sony Monitor on Apricot PC, how to make it work with CGA. Message-ID: <5267@ihlpf.ATT.COM> Date: 12 Jul 88 21:05:56 GMT Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories - Naperville, Illinois Lines: 19 I have a Apricot PC system (a not so IBM-PC compatible MS-DOS machine made in England) equipped with 3.5" floppy & 9" color monitors which I acquired at closeout price. The salesman claimed that the monitor were made by Sony and does give good color display. I try to hook up a monitor to the VEGA-7 Deluxe (CGA/EGA/Mono) adapter on the AT and I can barely read the text (it also need a gender changer for its 9-pin connector). My wildest guess is that the scan rate on this monitor is different than the typical PC color monitors. Does anyone on the netland have any experience/advice regarding making this type of monitor work on an IBM-PC? If scan rate is the only difference, how can I change the scan rate on the monitor with minimal effort or least pain? Thanks in advance! ihnp4!ihlpf!pcl
