Yup.

So there are 4 models?
- One with sub-D 9 connector: connecting is no problem (see above)
- One with SCART sonnector: conecting is no problem (see erik de boer)
- one with DIN-6 connector including comp.sync.: no problem (see erik de boer)
- one with DIN-6 connector without comp.sync. and DIN-8 connector for digital
RGB with comp. sync: not solved yet... or use this:

But ehm, my CM-8833-I, has white colour and monochrome/RGB switch! It has
SCART and CVBS inputs... Is there a change in dot pitch or so?
And, can anyone give me info on: Atari monitor SC1425 ?
(Quality, dot pitch, other specs, connections?)
