Will the A2M6014 monitor work correctly on an Apple ///? Perhaps more importantly, does it come with the requisite cable?

I know this was originally sold for the //gs. I suppose it could be balanced on top of a ///....

The Apple /// outputs digital RGB (CGA). The A2M6016 is an analog RGB monitor.

You need to make one of these to use it:

Wow, no kidding. I considered it... but then I lied down until the feeling passed.

At least NTSC color is available on pin 12.

Has anyone tried that with an AppleColor monitor? 80 column and color performance? I'm debating if I want to find the bits and pieces to try it out.

Hello,

It *IS* possible, just look at John's auction.
I've asked him how to make this magic work...

Edit : answer removed.

Edit : John says a single cable is enough.

A single cable that must be hand made you mean?

Was not sure if there was a straight out of the box solution.

Does the auction's "buy it now" price strike you as reasonable?

There is, but the colors will be incorrect (as shown by the auction... they're not right on the monitor being displayed).

I think he's just using the standard Apple cable, and that is why the colors are wrong. Which is a kinda disappointing way to represent it, imo.
