RGB cable help - DB15 to DB9

[angrycoder]

I've got one of the superguns that Matt made ages ago. It has a 15 pin female RGB connector. I want to connect this to a Commodore 1084s with a 9 pin RGB female connector.

Is there a cable out there that will do this? Or am I going to get need to find a DB15 male cable and a DB9 male cable and splice them together?

You'd have to make a custom RGB cable yourself or get someone else to make one for you. Yeah, I've got a Matt Ross custom made Supergun myself...awesome superugun styling with all the bells and whistles. I use my trusty Amiga 1080 RGB monitor with it & it works like a charm.

When you bought one of Matt's superguns, did it come with the instruction manual? In it, it has the pinout of the DB-15 RGB output...which is very handy to have if you're going to make a custom RGB cable setup.

Yes, I have the manual with the pinouts. Did you make your own cable or have someone do it for you?

I have experience hacking cables for the 1084s. I got tired of making them for each system, so I ended up just hacking an SCART switch box to go to the DB9 port on the 1084s. That way I can just buy standard SCART cables and plug them into the switch box.

I just ended up buying 1 each of these from amazon.

I'll have to get out the old soldering iron and electrical tape and get to hacking on Monday, Ketsui is on its way!

Yeah, I had to make my own custom cable with the 1080 monitor. Had to ask around to see what the 1080's RGB pinout was like though. It, too, has an DB-9 input for RGB.
