Hi!


I have big Q before I'll try anything.


I want from one D-SUB9-F output on Commodore 128 expand it to two D-SUB9-F.
Create a diverging. Not on MB, but through 9-wire cable.
And the big Q is: Is it really possible?
(look at scheme in attachment)


Thank you very much for reply.

Commodore 64 was great, Commodore 128 is bigger, better, faster and more!!!

Yes it is possible, as the output from the port is just TTL-level signals like you might find on the IEC serial port.

That said, it was only intended to run one monitor at a time, so you might want to buffer the port first, perhaps with a 74*365 (hex non-inverting buffer) or a 74*210 (octal non-inverting buffer).  You could probably use a bunch of good transistors if that's all you have.

Whatever you use will require power, but you can draw that from the cassette port.
