You successfully connected your ATI videocard to an arcade monitor, right? Do you know where can I find d-e-t-a-i-l-e-d instructions on how doing that? Please note I'm from a foreign country and don't speak English natively, my English is just average and I don't understand most of technical terms you guys use here. A simple guide in laymans terms would be so greatly appreciated...!

Is there any special hardware I must make in order to connect R, G, B and Sync to the arcade monitor? At http://www.bomara.com/Telebyte/ref10.htm , I see there are both "drive" and "ground", two plain "ground" pins and two Syncs: horizontal and vertical. At the message board, noone mentioned neither the RGB grounds nor the plain grounds. Somebody pointed that I should wire the Horizontal Sync only, because arcade monitors don't have Vertical Sync (?!) What is correct? Would you mind to explain this to me, using simple words? Please?

  - You are welcome. I myself speak wonderful English but had some trouble with understanding exactly what to do by reading Brian Lewis' PC2Jamma page. You are very welcome! AD 8/03/2000 (0)
