Hello, everyone! I just bought a CM-11 for $20, and I was wondering if anyone new the pin-out for it, and also if someone knew of a quick hack to convert it to analog RGB? Marty Goodman mentioned something about bypassing the input transistors, but I haven't opened the monitor, so I`m not sure what all this entails. Possibly just a jumper from B to E on each of the three color input transistors? Also, feel free to warn me publically about the dangers of opening a monitor, ie. the high-voltage capacitors, etc. I know what to avoid, but the more visible the warnings are, the better... Also, a new OS-9 based BBS will be going up soon (wednesday morning, sort of, on a 128k 2-floppy Coco III), and on a Delmar System V in January. Don't laugh at the Coco software, I wrote it when I was about 12. There won't be any downloads available until I get the System V, as I have no room on the floppies for them, and I don't have enough memory to run SZ/RZ or XYM while the BBS is running and I have a shell on /term. (Man, I love 128K!) A lot of you may wonder why on earth I am putting this thing up now, with as little stuff as I have -- well, I want to establish at least a small user base before I load the big gun, and since I haven't paid for the System V, I don't have it yet... At any rate, the number (is/will be) (409) 560-1300. It goes up about 5 pm. December 08, 1993, 2400/8/N/1. All users that log into the Coco version will be added to the OSK version, so don't worry about having to re-enter all of the data... Keep in mind also that the software will change, and I will be (most likely) running OSK StG-Net with some interesting stuff of my own. The current Coco software was written in Basic09, and while interesting, is just a bit flaky. You will occasionally find yourself in a place that I affectionately refer to as 'Never-Never land,' where none of the commands seem to work. Be sure to log off, too, as I never did quite get the hang of setting up error 220 signal traps in basic09... -Tim (409) 560-1300, 2400 8N1
