Victor 9000 Video Pinout / Specs?

[Kevin Williams]

Hello Everyone,

I have a couple of Victor 9000 machines which I picked up without keyboards or monitors. I was lucky enough to snag two keyboards from eBay, but no luck on the monitor. I know it runs a 640x400 mode, but I cannot find any specs on the clock rate, or scan rate. I can't even find the pinout, which I learned the hard way, is non-standard and would seem to be supplying power on at least one pin! Not sure which pins, but I know my MCE2VGA got a new hole in the top of the FPGA after seeing what it would do with the victor! I highly recommend not doing that.

Thanks so much!
-Kevin

Good lord, I looked and missed this somehow on the same site as last time too! Sorry for being lame again, I dug for the service manual but neglected to look for the Sirius. Thanks Chuck, I really do appreciate it.

Hi Kevin,
Keep us all informed of your results. I too have a Sirius without monitor and am looking for an alternative solution to buy or build.

I know it runs a 640x400 mode...

800 x 400 pixel resolution, that is what made it stand out at the time
