Home / Hardware - CoCo 3 RGB to CGA/EGA Adapter
How to make a CoCo3 to CGA/EGA adapter
List of materials:
1) an old PC serial cable (the one that goes from
the motherboard to the back of the case DB9M)
2) a DB9F socket to replace the DB9M (I used an
EGA card since my CoCo is repacked)
Instructions:
Cut the DB9M connector off of the serial cable and
solder the wires to the DB9F using the following
pinout. Note that both pins 1 and 2 of the CoCo
end go to pin 1 of the DB9F. CoCo Pin 7 should only
be connected to a monitors audio input (if present)
or you may run it to an external amplifier.
