So I recently picked one up with a monochrome monitor. I am pretty sure the monitor is bad because it only displays garbled text - looks a lot like something is out of alignment.
However, i plug in the 15 pin dsub connector to a VGA monitor and I don't get any display at all. When I power on the machine, it tries to go through the boot sequence, and it even takes the monitor out of power saving mode (monitor LED turns from amber to green), but I get no picture.
I'm assuming these came with MCGA adapters by default? Are they just not compatible with newer VGA monitors?
not sure what to do.
I have no clue what I'm doing! If you want to watch me fumble through all my retro projects, you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrDavejustdave
