The CGA2RGB adapter will convert the TTL RGB of MDA, CGA and EGA to analog RGB suitable to be connected directly to a 15KHz capable analog RGB monitor or to the popular Gonbes GBS-8200 VGA converter. Can be used on all computers with MDA, CGA or EGA output including Commodore 128, Tandy 1000 and vintage PCs.
What makes it special?
Exact CGA palette (handles brown correctly). DB9M input and HD15F output. DIP switches to select the mode (MDA green, MDA white, CGA, EGA) and composite vs. separate sync. Compatible with the Gonbes GBS-8200/8220 for a complete C128 80 column to VGA/LCD solution.
Requirements
Requires 5V DC for power. Board has a micro USB connector and can be powered with any 5V USB charger. Alternatively, power can be taken from the GBS-8200 P9 (please make sure you power the GBS-8200 with 5V as the converter will be damaged by higher voltage).
This is not a scan converter - Requires a monitor that can sync to 15KHz or a scan doubler
