Great care has been devoted to produce a sharp and noise free signal. If this is not an option a good quality VGA Male to Female cable should be used. The recommended configuration is to plug the CGA2RGB directly into the GBS HDB-15 input. The standard multi colored cable included in the GBS-8200 is not an optimal choice. The image quality of the GCA2RGB, like all analog video connections, heavily depends on the cable used. Jumper J4 allow to select between composite sync (pin 1-2) suitable for the GBS-8200 and separate sync (pin 2-3) suitable for 15KHz capable monitors. It can be powered directly from the GBS-8200 or using an external power supply. U2 buffers the signals and thanks to R12,R13,R15 provides a perfectly matched 75ohm impedance. The output impedance of the converter is however too high to directly drive the 75ohm video cables. The resistor network R1,R2,R7 forms a simple R2R D/A converter. The decoding follows the standard CGA color table which includes a special case for color 6. U1 decodes the 4-bit RGBI input to the full 2-bit per color component and generates the composite sync needed for the GBS-8200. ![]() A VGA connector has also been added to simplify the connection to the monitor or the scan converter. The main improvement is the addition of an analog video buffer to allow driving longer video cables with minimal signal degradation. Similarly to the older CGA2RGB-A00, the basic circuit is a triple 2-bit digital to analog converter. The CGA2RGB adapter will convert the TTL RGBI to analog RGB suitable to be connected directly to a 15KHz capable RGB monitor or to the popular Gonbes GBS-8200 VGA converter. Unfortunately nowadays is quite difficult to find a monitor with the suitable RGBI input. The 80 column output of the Commodore 128 is the same digital RGBI used by the original IBM CGA graphics adapter. A new version of this project is available here ![]()
