One thing you do need to be aware of is trying to use an analog RGB, as opposed to a TTL RGB, monitor - I'm sure the impedences are different: my archi [TTL] monitor died, went for repair and was never seen again :( so I purchased an analog RGB monitor; with the archi monitor I could use the TV out as well, but with the analog one the QL struggled, leading me [now] to suspect that I hadn't impedence matched and the monitor was draining too much current (and has probably part-frazzled a ULA?). ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Robert I'm not sure about the specific monitor you are referring to, but to use a standard RGB Monitor with the QL, one of the signals has to be inverted. Someone else can/will tell you how to do this -- I can tell you that it involves a single chip + some rudimentary wiring/soldering -- the schematic was floating around North America about 10+ years ago.

RE: [ql-users] Help on RGB Monitor
The monitor probably the old pre digital video output with 9pin Dtype plug. There is the lm1881 sync separator, cheap and easy, need an inverter IC when it is known which, equipment signals, are pos or neg going. http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=2565doy=31m8QV=Y Alternately it should be poss' to subtract the H from the comp with a CMOS 4011, and use the other NANDs as inverters as needed. http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ee100/docs/Chapter10.pdf Both options need power picked up from one end or other. You cant do much harm juggling the inversion after the QLis protected by the first Nanding. Have fun, did it myself too many years ago for a quirky monitor.

In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Thanks for the advice. After much searching Roxio tells me that all necessary drivers are already in XP but my Easy CD Creator must be updated so it can handle the CD drives. Well I am half way there, Yamaha now works. The yellow marks on the drive in Property System/Material have now disappeared. But Toshiba is reluctant. I can live with only one CD drive. I would have thought that the 'Tosh' would work in at least Read form with a generic CD driver. Available free somewhere on the web. With XP a generic type should be in there already though. When I was trying to install an internal modem some time back I was amazed how much information, help and guidance as well as free drivers were available ... a lot of capable software writers out there ...
