I finally have an IBM PC-ish class machine!

Intel 8086 9.56 MHz (With BIOS option for 4.77MHz)
768KB RAM
20MB aftermarket HDD

I'm using my Osborne keyboard, since it has a switch to toggle between AT and XT mode. I'm also using a 1084S monitor with a roughly made adaptor cable.

Geez, I saw that Commodore monitor and my heart skipped a beat. For a minute I thought you picked up a Commodore Colt or one of their other PC compatible machines.

Someone will build this cable for me, but he asked how the numbers are counted,
is it possible to show some more details how the cable is wired ?

Thx!
