Instructions to Convert IBM PCjr Color Monitor
|
||
to Standard DB 9 Connector
|
||
|
||
|
||
Pin out for the IBM PCjr Color Monitor cable is:
|
||
|
||
A1 EMPTY -Vertical Sync
|
||
A2 Violet Logic Ground
|
||
A3 EMPTY -Horizontal Sync
|
||
A4 Dark Blue Blue (color)
|
||
A5 Dark Red Red (color)
|
||
A6 Orange Intensity
|
||
A7 Green Green (color)
|
||
A8 EMPTY Composite Sync
|
||
A9 Gray Shielded Audio (white audio - high)
|
||
|
||
B1 Yellow +Vertical Sync
|
||
B2 EMPTY Logic Ground
|
||
B3 Brown +Horizontal Sync
|
||
B4 Lt.Red & Clear Reserved
|
||
B5 Lt.Blue Logic Ground
|
||
Black &
|
||
Lt.Grey
|
||
B6 EMPTY
|
||
B7 EMPTY
|
||
B8 Shield from A9 Audio (shielded ground)
|
||
B9 Bare Wire Shielded Ground
|
||
(Braided down entire cable)
|
||
|
||
Refer to pages 2-82, 3-83, 3-93, and B-29 in the IBM PCjr
|
||
Technical Reference Manual. Please note that on page 3-83,
|
||
the view is from the rear of the connector. The pictorial
|
||
appears to be viewing from the front. Please note: The
|
||
schematic for the IBM Color Display on page B-29 is NOT the
|
||
IBM PCjr Color Monitor. It is the IBM Color Display. There is
|
||
a difference! This is just for reference.
|
||
|
||
Cut the end of the cable off the IBM PCjr Monitor. Carefully
|
||
remove the outer insulation and pre-tin these wires:
|
||
Lt. Blue, Black, Lt. Grey, Dk. Red, Green, Dk. Blue, Orange,
|
||
Brown, and Yellow. Tin the outer braided jacket close to the
|
||
cable. Cut the braided wire close to the cable, leaving about
|
||
1/4". Solder a short length of insulated wire to it. This is
|
||
to keep the large braided cable from causing shorts in the
|
||
connector. You will have four wire that you do not connect.
|
||
These are a Grey shielded Audio cable, a Lt. Red or Pink
|
||
wire, a Violet or Purple wire, and a Clear wire. Fold the
|
||
four wires back along the cable and place a piece of heat
|
||
shrink tubing on them.
|
||
|
||
Purchase a DB-9 Male plug with a shielded hood. Solder the
|
||
wires as follows:
|
||
|
||
DB-9 Male Color of the PCjr Monitor cable From
|
||
|
||
1 Bare wire or shielded jacket B9
|
||
2 Lt. Blue, Black, & Lt. Grey B5
|
||
3 Dk. Red A5
|
||
4 Green A7
|
||
5 Dk. Blue A4
|
||
6 Orange A6
|
||
7 No Connection
|
||
8 Brown B3
|
||
9 Yellow B1
|
||
|
||
Place the hood on the DB-9 connector. You are now ready to
|
||
test the monitor. No warranty is given to these instructions.
|
||
This has been done to 3 IBM PCjr monitors with success. If
|
||
you do not feel competent enough to solder the connections,
|
||
contact Ron Brown or Ron McClanahan. We will perform the
|
||
modification for a fee.
