Yep, those are the instructions I used. I was lazy though so instead of ordering the individual connectors and building the cables from scratch end-to-end, I just ordered RCA and S-Video cables from Monoprice and cut them up and connected them. Doesn't look great, but it was faster and works fine.

MITS Altair 8800. I actually built this thing. Then got tired of never getting a date & didn't get another computer until the Radio Shack Color Computer and the TRS80.

The RS CoCo design came straight out of a Motorola 6809 app note. So OC-ing plus a real operating system were available from the industrial equivalent, OS9. This OS also included Basic09 which was like Basic and like Pascal.

Needless to say I had *every software* produced for the 6809 & that OS ... spreadsheet, etc.:$

OC-ed the "Trash 80" also. :whiste:

I started working for IBM in Sept 1981, so I had to have one of these.

I started out with a Vic 20, and later "upgraded" to C64.

I have a C64 and C128 🙂

The better question is, who besides me actually has an Amiga or Commodore 64/128 set up and running? 😀

Born a little too late and my parents were Mac users. First computer in my family was a Mac SE and the first one I actually got myself was a Mac IIcx (with a COLOR SCREEN OMG).

My fat agnus is going well. Bless her little bit of memory and 4096 colors.

For all you guys with Commodores but no working monitors, the Commodore monitor cable actually breaks out into S-Video signals. I have a working Commodore monitor but didn't want it taking up space, so I built an adapter cable to go from the Commodore monitor cable to S-Video on my plasma. Works flawlessly! :thumbsup:

You guys just read my mind, time to dig up the C64 and Amiga 500. ^_^
Hopefully I can find the FastLoad cartridge.

IBM PC jr play the hell out of DR Jay vs. Larry Bird and Kings Quest

Before I had the jr I wanted a Ti99/4a so bad. One of my friends had one and though it was most awesome thing I ever seen.

I rebuilt my Amiga 2000 earlier this year. Unfortunately the battery leaked and corroded the CPU socket (which I still need to repair), so I just grabbed a motherboard off eBay and some of the cool things I couldn't afford as a college kid (68030 accelerator, flicker fixer) and now she sits on my desk and is connected to one of my Dell monitors. Still a beauty after nearly 23 years. 😀
