nostalgia
so in a blinding flashback of nostalgia…
will mccown just came by with an oscilloscope, and showed me how to use it. as things turn out, i think that we need to split the signal. right now we’re wiring the V and H sync together into the monitor’s H sync input, which is ok because the input can actually accept a composite signal, but just wiring the lines together isn’t sufficient. we need to either:
a.) get a new wiring block and wire up a connector (should be easy at radio shack or similar), which is probably desireable anyway since the wiring is in bad need of cleaning up.
b.) configure the arcadeVGA card to output a composite signal to the H sync cable. this is tricky as it would require hooking up the computer to another monitor (probably at kurt’s house), and might not actually solve the problem.
so i am opting for a.), and will stop by the radio shack or equivalent on my way home tonight if i can (and if they’re open) and pick up the appropriate connection block.
hang tight, peeps.
