  • Apple IIGS Monitor Cable

    From magnusfalkirk@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 7 20:58:32 2022
    Does anyone happen to know where I can pick up a video cable to hook the GS to the GS Monitor? Over this last weekend I picked up an Apple IIGS from a friend, but he didn't have a monitor for it.

    Today I bought a monitor on eBay but it didn't have a cable. I should have the monitor in about a week and would really like to get a cable so I can use the GS.

    Thanks in advance for any help,
    magnus

    If it is the AppleColor RGB Monitor that was sold with IIgs originally
    then you just need a 15 pin cable with straight through connections.

    I know what cable I need, since I have another GS that I recently upgrade with the ApplSqueezer. My problem is locating that cable. I've been looking on eBay and poking around the internet and either can't find it or it's out of stock for the few
    places that do carry it.

    I have an extra - you know how to get a hold of me :-)
