| LDA-MAC II videocard |
Posted by: Elv1s on 2024-04-17 06:27:11
Just bought this videocard, 1987 sigma design. It slipped my mind to check the port at the time of purchase. Now I got it today and it has a DE-9 port, for EGA and CGA. Problem is that I dont have that kind of crt screen at hand. Is there a way to convert the signal to use with a regular apple display (crt) or to VGA? |

Sigma did their own thing.
It's also probably ECL signals, which is tricky to convert to VGA. |

What kind of monitor, brand, can work with this? |

It could well be a specific one: around this time, cards and monitors were often sold as a bundle if they did anything unusual at all.
You'd have to look at what's actually being put out by the card etc to get some ideas. |

Yeah, Sigma sold monitors and cards together as a product. |
