Commodore 128 - Connecting an RGBI Monitor; Connecting a Dual Monitor

Connecting an RGBI monitor
An RGBI monitor provides an 80
column color or monochrome
display. A special 80 column
monitor is used because the
picture
on most TV sets and
composite monitors does not
have the sharpness or resolution
needed to handle an 80 column
display. Plug the
RGBI monitor
into the 9 pin RGBI Socket
on
the rear of the computer and
tighten the two screws
on the
plug
to secure it.
Connecting a dual monitor
A dual monitor, such as the
Commodore
1901 , provides both
40 and 80 column displays.
It is
supplied with two cables one of
which
is plugged into the Video
Socket and the other into the
RGBI Socket. Both of these
sockets are
on the rear of the
computer. When you have
inserted the D plug into the
RGBI Socket, tighten the screws
on that plug
to secure it.
Note that you can connect a composite monitor and an RGBI monitor to
the Commodore 128 at the same time. This allows you to switch between
40 and 80 column displays.
