Hi,
I got my hands on a Commodore 1084S monitor to connect to my supergun.
It's a version with only a sub-d9 input and my supergun has a Scart output.
I googled some kind of cable "scart to sub-d9", but without success.
Does anyone know where to find this cable? Or do I need to make it myself?
Greetz, Patrick

Does this help?
Pin-Outs (1084S DB9)
Pin 1: Ground
Pin 2: Ground
Pin 3: Red
Pin 4: Green
Pin 5: Blue
Pin 6: Unused
Pin 7: Composite Sync
Pin 8: Horizontal Sync
Pin 9: Vertical Sync
From here: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=849
I've never seen a D-Sub9 to Scart cable though, I only know of cables that connect the 1084 to a computer, and those almost never have Scart connectors as video output (mostly DIN or some kind of other Sub-D connector). I'm afraid you'll have to make the cable yourself...

found this

Yes, thats usually the Amiga and Atari ST video output.

The 1084S is also available with Scard Output, that's why it is mostly used for surveillance cameras.
Don't know about a switch you are looking for, sorry.
otherwise you can use a cinch-adaptor to scart but that won't be the best picture?!?

I found a cable, it's a PHILIPS CM8833 MKII RGB MONITOR SCART ADAPTER CABLE
The CM8833 is the same monitor as the 1084 so in a few days I have my setup complete:
Supergun, 15khz RGB monitor, neo geo controller, power supply, volt display.
I'm really tempted buying a classic home computer now that I have this monitor, but it's better just to wait a little ;D I need to sleep sometimes

Got a link to that cable ?
Reason why I ask is that your Supergun will put out composite sync, and a sub-d 9 pin TTL RGB input is going to need separate H- and V-syncs.....impossible to do without any electronics....
Doesn't that monitor also have a DIN shaped analog RGB input ?
-
no it doesnt
this is the cable:

Is it even possible to connect a jamma kind of board to this monitor?

Let me know if this cable works as I have a couple of Phillips and Commodore Monitors to connect to multiple consoles - but was yet lacking monitor cables.

Ah, I see it already: that monitor has a switch to select between analogue and TTL RGB on that sub-d input. Be SURE that your monitor has that switch too or the cable will be useless.....

thanks for checking Andre :)
I need to put it on analoque?
