Hmm... The problem is that you'd prolly need a multimeter to figure out what type of connector your MSX has (although I think it's this one) nor what type of cable it is you have there. Since some MSX computers can have 5V+ and 12V+ on their monitor connectors it's probably not a good idea to just try the cable and see what happens. I'm also not very sure the monitor you have can even work without RGB signals... |

Well, that still leaves the problem of figuring out what kind cable you have and if the monitor can work with just a CVBS signal...

Hmm, I think I will get a cable for a normal TV tomorrow... That should work anyway.
Thanks again for the support. This forum is almost as friendly as the forum on Lemon64 ( www.lemon64.com)  |

lemon64... sounds faintly familiar...
wasn't that the place where some MSX nutcase started yelling like 'C64 is dead, buy MSX!'? That wasn't me , but it just struck my eye
Ha well, I don't believe in up- or downgrading. At least, not when wintel bricks are unconcerned. Every step from a Wintendo to a home computer is an upgrade, imo  |

No prblem to connect the computer to a commodore monitor
The only thing you need is cable from 8-pin din (msx) to 2 chinch connectors (audio and Video)
