Howdy
I picked up a C6128 yesterday from a lovely old techo guy ; with a heap of extremely useful information. However rather than a SCART connection on the back of my 1084P I only have a 6 pin and 8 pin DIN.
Last evening I put together a 6 pin to 6 pin cable based on pin mappings ; While I get a display and everything appears fine ; the minute I issue a 'cat' to A (or B) the screen blurs and shifts to the left and becomes garbled ;
These are the pin mappings I used.
Amstrad --> 1084P
1 R --> 4 R
2 G --> 1 G
3 B --> 5 B
5 GND --> 3 GND
4 Sync --> 6 VSYNC
6 Comp/LUM --> 2 HSYNC
Any ideas as to where I have fallen here? I do apologise if this has been answered but I can't seem to find where. I could also be missing something obvious.
The 1084P
Pin 1: Green
Pin 2: Horizontal Sync
Pin 3: Ground
Pin 4: Red
Pin 5: Blue
Pin 6: Vertical Sync
The C6128
| Pin No. | Signal Name | Description |
| 1 | R | Red analogue signal |
| 2 | G | Green analogue signal |
| 3 | B | Blue analogue signal |
| 4 | Sync | RGB switching control |
| 5 | GND | Common |
| 6 | LUM | Luminance |
Try disconnecting the LUM signal and connect Sync from the 6128 to the HSync on the 1084. Leave the VSync input disconnected.
thank you very much pelrun, that works absolutely perfectly :D
So ; Amstrad --> 1084P monitor
Pin 1 - Pin 4
Pin 2 - Pin 1
Pin 3 - Pin 5
Pin 4 - Pin 2
Pin 5 - Pin 3
Pin 6 - NC
Thanks HEAPS!
And for the Commodore 1084S-P1 that has the 9-Pin RGB connector.
AMSTRAD ==> 1084 9-Pin
1 - RED ==> 3 - RED
2 - GREEN ==> 4 - GREEN
3 - BLUE ==> 5 - BLUE
4 - SYNC ==> 7 - CSYNC
5 - GND ==> 2 - GND
Cheers,
Shane
ripper shane. i don't have one of those in my collection just yet ;)
Does the P1 have anything special? I guess it's a [P]hilips one, but apart from that...?
For anyone out there who can't/won't build their own cables, I know you can get some on eBay...
The P is for Philips, the 1 means it has the 9pin Sub-D connector instead of 6/8 pin DIN sockets. It supports exactly the same formats as the P version. I think the P2 was a costdown which removed features.

Which ones are those with the Green option again, then?

Here: https://gona.mactar.hu/Commodore/monitor/Commodore_monitors_by_model_number.html
Bryce.
Ah yes, *that* site :D
But it doesn't list the Green option... or am I missing something?
You haven't gone far enough to the right. You possibly mean the 1701?
Bryce.
Where on the 1701 (Jesus those tables...) does it say about the Green option?
But no, mine is a 1084S-D(2??) I think, definitely not a 1701.
Ah, green option, I thought you meant monochrome. Not sure the "green-switch" is reflected in the model number.
Bryce.
Ah, I see; I thought the green option was restricted to specific models, though I haven't seen concrete information on that.
The P1 has the button on the front to toggle between colour or green screen.
Cheers,
Shane
I had the Commodore monitor hooked up today so grabbed a couple of pictures.
The pictures don't do it justice, the screen is very sharp, and the green screen mode with 80 column is very sharp.
Cheers,
Shane

Indeed. It's like a really good CPC monitor :)

Doesn't appear to have a picture of my Type DM602 unless the image is trapped on the page

I am assuming you all use a different power supply for the 12V with the 6128

I prefer my Microvitecs for the Amigas. On the C64 I use the ....

Hadn't thought about the Amstrads... though I have enough CTM644s plus three or four green screens

GT65s thinks the name.

Yup, that's where the username comes from. But from the series, not the film. :)
