Using this cable with this

Seems like it might work. I have no idea though.

I'm wondering why they are grounding the I bit of the RGBI input? That would suggest that only one intensity is supported, which would produce a lame display. Also, the CGA standard produces TTL-level signals, which means zero or 5 volts. From their website:

* Input RGB Signals:

* RGB: 0.7 Vp-p 75 ohm

Something isn't quite kosher about this product.

I looked into this product some time ago. The manufacturer confirmed that it doesn't support TTL levels or Intensity.
It was a little too expensive for me but it may be useful for Amiga fans.

Thanks guys! I am glad you are here to keep us in line!!

I was really puzzled by grounding the intensity line, since it is required for RGBI.

I was able to score a C= 2002 monitor off ebay the other day. Works great, but it is small and heavy. (And old!)
