if you do Chuck I would be interested in one.
If you have one Id be more than interested... Wink winkThose long-shaft knobs were quite common on hot-chassis TVs and radios for the simple reason that one didn't want a bare metal control shaft sticking out if a knob were to come off. I think I still have a knob or two from an old Zenith TV like that.
Try a .177 air rifle if legal in your area. Connecticut has some of the tightest gun laws in the country.Unfortunately our chipmunks are why I cant garden. We have hundreds of them burrowing and eating all th eroots of everything including the lawn... I hate the mangy vermin.
I own one.. bought it for that purpose.. Do you know fast those little things are? I couldnt hit them to feed my starving family.. like little lightning bolts.Try a .177 air rifle if legal in your area. Connecticut has some of the tightest gun laws in the country.
So the Apple IIgs outputs ANALOG RGB, can this rgb port be used for that?
Since your monitor also has a composite video input, I think it's likely to accept analog RGB.
it wouldnt hurt to try would it? just to see the results would be a nice lesson learned.
I agree. We have a small contingent here but are "too cute" to plug, so she says.I own one.. bought it for that purpose.. Do you know fast those little things are? I couldnt hit them to feed my starving family.. like little lightning bolts.
You could try, I think the analog signals from the IIgs are the normal 0.7v peak analog signals like VGA, which shouldn't hurt TTL-level inputs. (0.7v is a TTL-low, so it'll probably just be a black screen even if it's pure white.) The other issue is I'm pretty sure the Apple IIgs is composite sync, not separate Hsync/Vsync. You could try hooking up the composite output to the composite in on the monitor and see if it'll take a sync from that port when it's in RGB mode, or feeding the composite sync into either or both of the H/Vsync inputs, but I'm not optimistic for your chances.
When you have literally HUNDREDS of them burrowing holes throughout your yard and killing all your grass, cuteness stops being a factor. Using electronic traps and point I have gotten maybe 50. But considering how fast they reproduce its not even the slightest dent on the population. I cant even hire an exterminator because I have been told in my state you need a trapping license to deal with them that those are hard to come by so they just dont bother. I told my wife Id like to buy about 20 rat snakes if I could find a seller. See here in new england we have all these old property marker walls made of loose rubble stone. They surround my property and they are like a metropolis for those vermin. I figure the snakes would make a home there and eat them up relatively quickly. Then you would have to deal with black 4 foot snakes showing up from time to time.. and even I am squeamish on snakes.I agree. We have a small contingent here but are "too cute" to plug, so she says.
