New England Wanted: EGA Card

[thegenerallee86]

I would like to find an EGA CGA MDA VGA Combo card that outputs EGA through the DB9 Pin EGA because the one I have seems to only put it out the VGA Port not the DB9pin like it should. Please and Thank You. I am looking for 2 of them one for my IBM 5150 and another for my IBM 5160XT.

All of the OAK technologies OTI037 cards I've had have supported this. They are a 16 bit card but there is a jumper to make it work (even in VGA mode) on an 8-bit bus. Depending on jumper settings, it can be MDA, CGA, EGA, or VGA. I don't remember whether or not it supports Hercules graphics in MDA mode. They are very common and fairly inexpensive.

I've got an Everex MicroEnhancer (EGA with parallel) that I'm not using... 8 bit card.

Hi,

I have a Male DB9 to Female DB9 cable ... 2 meters long (a few inches more than 6 feet) ... I'm guessing it's an EGA cable since it doesn't work as an RS-232 cable ... I tried, the PIN connections are way off for RS-232.

The PIN out is:
Female to Male
2 to 2
3 to 1
5 to 9

Since I doubt I'd ever use it, if somebody needs it ... $15 includes shipping in the USA.

Unless it's for some oddball monitor, don't think it's EGA. Normal EGA cables are 1:1 "straight through".

Hi,

Well I guess that was a bad guess for the cable. The guy selling it online said it was an RS-232 cable ... I didn't test it right away so I've lost the chance to complain on eBay after the cable just sat here for a year or more.

Now I wonder what the cable is supposed to work with ???
