Cables and adaptors
Adaptor type B
The cable supplied with some Multiscan monitors is terminated at the computer end
with a 9-way D-type plug. You need a standard 15-way plug to 9-way socket
adaptor:
Most Multiscan monitors are now being designed to be VGA-compatible and will
work satisfactorily when driven with separate horizontal and vertical sync signals.
Adaptor type C
The cable supplied with some Multiscan monitors requiring composite sync is
terminated at the computer end with a 9 pin D-type plug. In this case you need a 15-
way plug to 9-way socket adaptor:
Note: HSync (pin 13)
linked back into ID<2> (
pin 4) tells the computer
that composite (rather
than separate) sync is
required, and that modes
compatible with a
Multiscan monitor can
be displayed.
