D-Sub9 to 15pin Apple II rgb solution / source?
Posted by: debaser on 2019-03-07 18:09:40
Hi there. 

I am looking to get my newly acquired IIgs up and running (here is my crappy blog that I just started about the adventure) but I lack an Apple analog RGB monitor. I have a commodore 1084s that will do the trick but need an adapter to get this going. Does anyone have a source for me to convert an Apple II dsub15 male to a dsub9 ? It's been harder than I thought it would be. 🙂  

Thanks

Hi debaser,

why hard?  It's documented you can rig up your own cable:

Thanks! However I was hoping to find an adapter to take care of this and that was what has been harder than I thought. I already have a IIgs cable and quite honestly making one and dealing with solder pins is not fun for me (psoriatic arthritis). That is good info though and I will cross that bridge if I must.
